Burks was one of the first players the Bucks interviewed at the annual NBA draft combine being held in Chicago on Thursday and Friday.

"It was a great meeting for me," Burks said of his interview with the Bucks. "They liked me a lot. I liked their staff a lot.
"I liked their system, where they're going and their players."

The Bucks have needs at several positions, and shooting guard is no exception.
