Bucks acquire Greivis Vasquez in draft-night trade with Raptors

The Milwaukee Bucks acquired guard Greivis Vasquez from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for the draft rights to Norman Powell – the 46th overall pick in tonight’s draft – and a protected 2017 first round pick that originally belonged to the L.A. Clippers.

Vasquez joins the Bucks after averaging 9.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists in a career-high 82 games (28 starts) for the Toronto Raptors in 2014-15.

Last season, he hit a single-season career-high 133 3-pointers, which is 24 more than his previous best for a season, while connecting on a career-best 37.9 percent of his attempts from three.

The Venezuelan-born player was selected with the 28th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. He is the first of his nationality to be drafted into the NBA, and only the third Venezuelan citizen to ever play in the NBA.
