Bucks in a trade involving the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia, according to Allegiant Athletic Agency, Wolters' agent.
• None of the teams had announced the deal late Thursday, leaving the focus on Antetokounmpo, who averaged 9.5 points and 5.0 in 26 games last season for Filathlitikos in Greece's second division.
• "If it were about need and being safe, we'd take the backcourt pick," Bucks general manager John Hammond said. "That wasn't about this. This was about taking the best player on the board."
• The Bucks had been projected to select a guard to replace Monta Ellis, the team's leading scorer last season, who opted out of his contract to become a free agent. In addition, starting point guard Brandon Jennings is a restricted free agent.

A kid this young, physically, he's not a very strong kid. I'm talking about skills, I'm talking about his ability to get in between those lines and do things. This kid has it."
• "Just sitting with John yesterday, I was just shaking my head and I said, 'John, he will not be there at 15. He won't be there,'" he said. "I am really excited about this kid."
