Milwaukee Bucks need to "add toughness and energy" in off-season

The Milwaukee Bucks need to add "toughness and energy" to their team, says general manager John Hammond.

Milwaukee Bucks general manager John Hammond has admitted that they have "multiple needs" heading into the NBA Draft next month.

The Bucks finished sixth in the Eastern Conference this season, but lost to the Chicago Bulls in the first-round of the playoffs.

Hammond told reporters: "We're still very much an unfinished product. We need to continue to add toughness and energy to our team, so we have multiple needs."

He later added: "We want to get to become a championship-calibre team. The question is, 'How quickly do have to get there?'. Everybody still has the big picture in mind. We want to go through this organically."

The Bucks haven't won the Eastern Conference title since 2001.
