MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Bucks head into the NBA draft tomorrow almost certain to pick one of two players with the eighth pick of the draft: Anthony Randolph or Joe Alexander.

Either one could fill the role of small forward that the Bucks need.

Alexander looks more prepared for an immediate impact, while Randolph could have more potential.

The 6-foot-8 Alexander averaged about 17 points and 6 rebounds a game last season for West Virginia. The 6-foot-10 Randolph averaged about 6 points and 9 rebounds a game for LSU.

Both are early entries in the draft.

The Bucks also have the 37th pick in the second round and have said they'll use it to take a European talent they can continue to develop overseas, or else someone certain to make their roster.
