Brayden Burries finishes SL with 27-point effort

MIL Guard

Player Stats

Brayden Burries accounted for 27 points (9-of-18 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Saturday’s win over the 76ers.

While he missed all four of his three-point attempts, Burries finished his summer with another excellent showing. The tenth overall pick in last month’s draft was Milwaukee’s best player in Las Vegas and has the look of a player who should compete for rotation minutes immediately. Whether he was on the ball or off it, Burries made things happen offensively, and his defense was solid as well. With the Bucks paying Gary Trent Jr. $64 million and adding Tyler Herro and Kasparas Jakučionis in the Giannis trade while also having Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins, the backcourt projects to be crowded next season. However, good luck keeping Burries off the floor, given how well he played this summer.

Brayden Burries accumulated 23 points (8-of-15 FGs, 3-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, four steals, one block and three three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Suns.

Playing against college teammate Koa Peat for the first time as pros, Burries recorded his second 20-point game in as many nights. The former Arizona guard was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, committing just one turnover. If there was an issue for Burries, it was that he went 3-of-7 from the foul line, but that was not an issue for him at the college level. His play in Las Vegas has been encouraging for both the Bucks and fantasy managers considering Burries in their drafts. Milwaukee’s perimeter logjam may make it challenging for Burries to log heavy minutes as a rookie, but getting into the rotation is certainly a reasonable expectation.

Brayden Burries finished Friday’s loss to the Heat with 18 points (6-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer.

After playing in just one of Milwaukee’s three California Classic games, Burries should see a lot more playing time in Las Vegas. The former Arizona guard struggled with his shot on Friday, but it did not diminish his aggressiveness as a scorer. Even with the Bucks adding Tyler Herro in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade and still having Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr., there will still be opportunities for Burries to prove himself during the regular season. The fantasy outlook isn’t great in redraft leagues, but he’ll remain valuable in dynasty formats.

Brayden Burries tallied 12 points (3-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in Monday’s loss to the Kings.

After sitting out the Bucks’ first two games at the California Classic, Burries played his first meaningful basketball since the Final Four in April on Monday. He’s a better shooter than he showed against the Kings, but that can be attributed to rust. Burries will get more opportunities to show what he can do in Las Vegas, starting with the Heat on July 10. Along with fellow first-round pick Nate Ament, who did not play in California, Burries should have every opportunity to earn rotation minutes as a rookie.

Bucks selected Brayden Burries with the No. 10 pick in the NBA Draft.

A five-star recruit, the 6-foot-4 Burries spent one season at Arizona before turning pro. As part of a team that took the Wildcats to the Final Four for the first time since 2001, he averaged 16.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 three-pointers while shooting 49.1 percent from the field, 39.1 percent from three and 80.5 percent from the foul line. A first-team All-Big 12 selection, Burries is an effective scorer on all three levels and defends his position well. In addition to his scoring ability, he is an excellent perimeter defender. With Milwaukee embarking on a new era after the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, he will be a key building block for the franchise.

Warriors’ second-round pick Lajae Jones has signed with Italian club Pallacanestro Trieste.

The 54th overall pick in June’s draft, Jones played for the Warriors’ Summer League team but faced long odds of earning a roster spot in training camp. Instead of going to training camp, he’ll play in Italy this season, with the Warriors retaining his draft rights. With the Warriors signing former Gonzaga center Graham Ike to a two-way contract, all three of those slots are filled going into camp, with Malevy Leons and L.J. Cryer occupying the other two.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Ausar Thompson has agreed to a 5-year, $155 million contract extension with the Pistons.

The contract extension comes after Detroit finished as the Eastern Conference’s top seed for the first time since the 2006-07 season. Thompson started 72 of 73 regular-season games en route to earning a spot on the NBA All-Defensive First Team. He averaged 9.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.0 steals per game, and will enter his fourth NBA season with a chance to build on his overall game. A jump in offensive production would boost his fantasy value.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Pelle Larsson has agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract extension with the Heat.

Larsson carved out a solid role for the Heat last season, starting 54 of the 70 regular-season games and averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game overall. He should again be a part of the nightly rotation in his third NBA season for a Miami team that expects to have a much higher ceiling with the offseason acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo. From a fantasy perspective, Larsson could take another leap in production and build in 2026-27 on a strong end to his second season.

Nuggets signed Cam Whitmore to a two-way contract.

Days after NBA insider Marc Stein called Denver a “team to watch” on Whitmore, the former first-round pick has officially agreed to a two-way deal. A blood clot in his shoulder limited Whitmore to 21 appearances for the Wizards last season, and he has not played 60 games in any of his three NBA seasons. His rookie season was Whitmore’s most productive, as he averaged 12.3 points per game with the Rockets. The move to Denver won’t affect redraft leagues, but Whitmore could remain in play in dynasty leagues if he can turn the two-way deal into something more.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Jazz and Keyonte George have agreed to a five-year, $157.5 million extension.

After two seasons of inconsistent play, George took a significant step forward in 2025-26. The 6-foot-4 point guard recorded career-high averages in points, assists and steals. Averaging 23.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 three-pointers per game, George cemented his status as the point guard the Jazz will lean on as they look to move up the pecking order in the Western Conference. While having a healthy Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. may cut into George’s scoring, his assist production could increase in 2026-27.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Pelicans and Saddiq Bey agreed to a three-year extension worth $55.5 million.

After missing the entire 2024-25 season recovering from a torn ACL, Bey had the most productive season of his NBA career to date. Starting 64 of the 72 games he played, the 6-foot-7 forward averaged 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.1 three-pointers while shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 84.1 percent from the foul line. Injuries to other wings freed up additional opportunities for Bey last season, but the contract extension shows he has clearly locked down a key role.

Adem Bona has been diagnosed with a sprained left foot.

Bona, who is expected to compete with Ariel Hukporti for the backup center job, suffered the injury while representing Turkïye during FIBA World Cup qualifiers. The 76ers announced that he’ll be re-evaluated when training camp begins at the end of the month. While Bona’s injury won’t significantly affect his fantasy draft value, missing regular-season games would remove a potential safety net for managers who select Joel Embiid.

NBA insider Jake Fischer reports that the Raptors and Kawhi Leonard are nearing an agreement on a contract extension.

Mere days after his return to Toronto became official, Leonard is reportedly closing in on a lucrative contract extension. According to Fischer, the talented forward is eligible for a deal worth up to $126 million over two years. Leonard is going into the final season of a contract that will pay him just over $50 million. So, while the collective bargaining agreement limits how many years he can sign for, Kawhi’s average annual salary would get a nice bump if the extension comes to fruition.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Suns signed Duop Reath to a one-year deal.

With Mark Williams set to miss months after shoulder surgery, the Suns reportedly add another frontcourt option. Reath appeared in 32 games for the Trail Blazers last season before the Hawks acquired him ahead of the February trade deadline, and Atlanta waived him shortly after. Reath played just 8.1 minutes per game in Portland before undergoing foot surgery in January. While healthy, his prospects for achieving fantasy relevance in Phoenix aren’t much better. Khaman Maluach and Oso Ighodaro will be Williams’ primary replacements, with Ighodaro starting 24 games last season.

Knicks signed Ochai Agbaji and James Wiseman to Exhibit 9 contracts.

Exhibit 9 contracts are non-guaranteed contracts for training camp that protect the team if the player suffers a significant injury before the start of the regular season. With the Knicks lacking cap space and needing depth, experienced veterans that can be had on minimum contracts like Agbaji and Wiseman are useful additions. Neither player should have much of an impact in fantasy leagues, though.
