Brayden Burries scores 16 points vs. Oklahoma City

MIL Guard

Player Stats

Brayden Burries recorded 16 points (5-of-13 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in Wednesday’s exhibition against the Thunder.

The Bucks did not play multiple veteran guards, including Kevin Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. on Wednesday. As a result, experienced an uptick in playing time after logging 16 minutes in his preseason debut against the Timberwolves. The lottery pick out of Arizona missed all four of his three-point attempts, but he was active defensively and shot over 50 percent from two. Given the number of guards on the Bucks’ roster, Burries may not offer much value in redraft leagues early on. However, as the Eastern Conference gets stronger and the Bucks no longer have Giannis Antetokounmpo, the rookie’s value could increase later in the season.

Brayden Burries tallied 14 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in Friday’s exhibition against the Pacers.

Although he missed all four of his three-point attempts, Burries had a solid night overall in the Bucks’ preseason finale. It remains to be seen how much he’ll play once the regular season begins, as neither Gary Trent Jr. nor Caris LeVert was available for Friday’s game. However, with the Bucks rebuilding after trading Giannis Antetokounmpo, one would assume the team will prioritize giving Burries opportunities this season.

Brayden Burries posted 19 points (5-of-12 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, four steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s exhibition against the Bulls.

Burries made his first start of the preseason on Wednesday. He struggled from deep, making one of six attempts, but a perfect night at the foul line boosted the rookie’s point total. With the number of guards on the Bucks’ roster, Burries may struggle to get rotation minutes early on. However, the franchise is invested in him, which likely means more playing time in the second half of the season if Milwaukee isn’t in contention for a postseason spot.
Kevin Porter

MIL Guard-Forward #7

Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) said he feels 100 percent after two knee procedures this summer.

While Porter was a surprisingly valuable player for fantasy managers last season, he played only 38 games before being shut down in late March. The good news is that Porter will go into training camp at full strength. However, with Milwaukee adding multiple guards to their roster, including Tyler Herro and lottery pick Brayden Burries, KPJ’s fantasy ceiling likely took a hit. He should be drafted, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo no longer in the fold, but managers will need to keep their expectations for Porter in check.

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.

MIL Guard

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.

MIL Guard

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.

Harris did not play at all during the preseason, and his strained left calf will delay his official Spurs debut for at least one game. Julian Champagnie, who was moved to the bench for Dylan Harper, and Harrison Barnes likely benefit the most from Harris’ absence in terms of playing time.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Hornets and Brandon Miller have agreed to a five-year, $209 million extension.

Miller’s future in Charlotte is set, as he’s agreed to a rookie-scale extension worth more than $40 million per year. With the offseason decision to trade LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, the franchise has moved forward with Miller and Kon Knueppel as cornerstones. Miller appeared in 65 games last season, averaging 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.1 three-pointers per game.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Bucks waived Kevin Porter Jr.

To clear a roster spot and finalize their roster for the upcoming season, the Bucks waived Porter, addressing the perimeter logjam. Injuries limited him to 38 games last season, but KPJ was productive when he played. He averaged 17.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.2 three-pointers per game in 2025-26. It wouldn’t be surprising if he were claimed off waivers, with the Kings being a team to watch after Ben Simmons suffered a season-ending Achilles injury on Sunday.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Lakers have waived Dalton Knecht.

The 17th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Knecht was the subject of trade rumors ahead of the Lakers’ decision to waive him. The former Tennessee standout had his moments, most notably scoring a career-high 37 points against the Jazz during his rookie season. However, Knecht was inconsistent offensively and didn’t bring much defensively, ultimately leading the Lakers to move on and finalize their roster for the 2026-27 season. Managers in dynasty leagues rostering Knecht should not rush to drop him, as he could catch on with another team on a two-way contract.
