MILWAUKEE (AP) The Milwaukee Bucks have acquired veteran center Samuel Dalembert from the Houston Rockets in a trade the day before the NBA draft.

The Bucks said Wednesday they got Dalembert, the 14th overall pick in Thursday's draft, a future second round pick and cash considerations from Houston in exchange for forwards Jon Brockman and Jon Leuer, guard Shaun Livingston and the 12th pick.

Dalembert has career averages of 8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots per game. Center is a need for the Bucks, who traded away Andrew Bogut last season.
