Shams deleted this tweet. Unsure if this is Orlando or Milwaukee.

Woj just mentioned that Andre was red-flagged medically for past injuries, including meniscus injuries. Hadn't heard that previously.

Regardless, so happy for Andre! Will be fun to root for him with Giannis & co on a really good team.

Good spot for Andre. I like him joining a good team where he can do Andre things without having to be a scorer to bring great benefit to the team. Congratulations to a terrific young man and lifetime Husky!

That's strange to hear, agreed

Was hoping for the Nuggets, but the Bucks are a good option for Andre as well. And they know how to make an offense work with a wing who can't shoot

Favorite Husky

Congrats on him being drafted. Don’t know how he’ll fix next to Giannas who likes to be surrounded by shooters.

Bucks badly needed an infusion of youth and athleticism at the wing/perimeter, I don't think AJ will have any issues making that roster as a 2nd rounder

Andre will be playing for Aubrey Griffin's father.

Their bench 1-3 is meh at best right now. Jevon Carter, Joe Ingles and Wes Matthews.

Makes a bit more sense that he stayed in the draft now. If he was red flagged for potential meniscus problems he couldn't come back and risk a knee injury and going undrafted next yr. Weird bc he leaps through the roof and seemed really healthy with us. Guess it's something only the drs studying it would find and was probably critical info for him. Love the team fit/culture with Bucks

They mentioned on the telecast that the Bucks see Andre as a potential leader of the second unit based on his experience, maturity and quality character.

Medically flagged for knees/knee as a non shooter & still picked top 40 is pretty remarkable.

Best of luck to Dre

 

[MDHuskFan]

The teammates & coaches making sure they got to spend time with both of them tonight. Speaks to the togetherness of this team

 

[NJHoops]

Andre will be playing for Aubrey Griffin's father.

who is also Dan’s former teammate

Could not be prouder of Dre and this entire program right now. He earned every bit of this and absolutely made the right decision (even if it did take some convincing!)

Bucks are an awesome situation for him. Loving this draft.

On Hurley’s insta you can see that Donovan is there too next to Jackson.

What a great night!

Let’s go Adama!

I like this guy's youtube channel, and he loves the pick.

 

[Dezoworld]

Happy and proud of our boys but I really feel bad for Sonogo. Guy that dominated college basketball help win a Natty did hos thing in the draft combine. Maybe he should of stayed another year

Best chance for another husky ring. It’s been a long time since we had a husky with an nba title. Ray in 14?

Apostolos Roumoglou or Andrea Hurley can teach JJ some Greek to break the ice with Giannis

I envision JJ at a Marquette/UConn game in the future.

If AJ goes 2nd Round, did he make the wrong decision? Hard to think not. He'd have been a Top 15 next year. I'm really hoping he goes 1st Round to make that irrelevant. If you think he was a top 15 pick next year, I have a trip to see the titanic for $250k to sell you
