Bucks signed PG Mark Sears to a two-way contract.
After two seasons at Ohio, Sears transferred to Alabama and flourished under head coach Nate Oates. A two-time All-American, the 6-foot point guard averaged 18.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.4 three-pointers per game in 2024-25. Sears shot 40.3 percent from the field, a decrease of 10 percentage points compared to the 2023-24 season, and his effective field goal percentage dropped by 11 percentage points to 49.4. Along with his size, the decrease in efficiency is a concern. However, Sears can be a factor offensively, especially when put in positions where he can play downhill. While Sears is on a two-way deal, he joins a Bucks team that needs depth at the point guard position due to Damian Lillard’s Achilles tendon rupture. That isn’t enough to make the rookie a viable option in fantasy drafts, but he’ll be worth watching.
