Bucks' formidable draft curse just claimed its next victim

Bucks' Formidable Draft Curse

The Milwaukee Bucks have reportedly waived Chris Livingston, who becomes yet another draft bust for the franchise.

The Bucks haven't hit on a draft pick in a long time, and this latest news doesn't help. Two years after being drafted, Chris Livingston's Milwaukee Bucks era is over.

To make room on an overcrowded roster, the team has reportedly waived him once again. They gave Livingston a second chance earlier this summer, re-signing him to a one-year guaranteed deal after waiving him on July 2, but he simply didn't show enough in training camp to beat out his Bucks teammates for a roster spot.

The Bucks selected Livingston 58th overall as the last pick in the 2023 draft, taking a swing on a Kentucky freshman with promising size and strength as a wing. He played sparingly as a rookie and again in his second season, failing to make hoped-for strides.

Now, the former Kentucky Wildcat will have to put down roots elsewhere.
