The Milwaukee Bucks turned some heads when they traded Andrew Bogut to the Golden State Warriors for Monta Ellis, but for some reason I can't convince myself that they're ready to rebuild. They did pick up Ekpe Udoh in the Ellis deal as well, but what they need is a true center who can start ahead of Udoh. The question becomes: Do the Bucks go with potential or with production? Find out after the jump!

With the twelfth pick in The Dream Shake's 2012 NBA Mock Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks select Meyers Leonard, sophomore center from Illinois.

The Bucks may be ready to win now, but they shouldn't think Tyler Zeller's addition will get them where they want to go immediately. They may be better going with Leonard, who measured out fantastically at the combine, has shown flashes of potential and could end up being a better player than Zeller down the road.

There's a lot of doubt that Leonard can ever reach that potential, but I think Milwaukee could turn out to be a perfect fit for him, a mix of playing and watching without totally being turned lose or useless.

Phoenix is on the clock!
