Ennis played 33 games in the National Basteball Association last season, starting with Phoenix before landing with the Bucks via trade.
Vaughn impressed the Bucks in at least two pre-draft workouts, including one in Milwaukee on Monday.
The Toronto Raptors selected Utah point guard Delon Wright with the No. 20 pick in Thursday night’s National Basteball Association draft.
