Getting to the playoffs, even with Sam Cassell missing all but eight regular-season games, is a great start for the beginning of the George Karl era. But if Karl exhibits any of the traits he showed in Seattle, he won't be looking for rookies to help the Bucks take the next step. Milwaukee was a horrid rebounding team (28th out of 29 teams) and didn't have much scoring punch in the low post, but expect Robert Traylor to pick up more of that next season. No matter what the Bucks are looking for, they won't find much of it -- Milwaukee doesn't pick until No. 48.
