Nate Ament accounted for 12 points (5-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the 76ers.

Ament finished his first Summer League with a solid overall stat line in Milwaukee’s 96-94 victory. While fellow lottery pick Brayden Burries was one of the best performers in Las Vegas, things did not go as smoothly for Ament. However, the final outing was encouraging, and the former Tennessee forward still boasts immense upside. While his fantasy ceiling in redraft leagues may be limited next season, Ament is a must-roster player in dynasty leagues.
Brayden Burries

MIL Guard

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.
Gary Trent

MIL Guard

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the NBA will “probe” Gary Trent Jr.'s four-year, $64 million contract.

Trent Jr. finished his second season in Milwaukee with averages of 21.2 minutes, 8.1 points and 0.5 steals while shooting 36% from deep. All of those numbers represent the lowest marks since his rookie campaign, and the NBA will investigate whether the Bucks circumvented the salary cap by offering GTJ a handshake deal to sign for the minimum last season with the promise of a big payday.
Bogoljub Marković

MIL Forward #23

Bogoljub Marković tallied 16 points (5-of-8 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and four three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Suns.

Limited to seven points in Sunday’s loss to the Spurs, Marković more than doubled that output on Monday. The rookie forward, who remained overseas last season after being selected with the 47th overall pick, shot 4-of-7 from beyond the arc against the Suns. Overall, Marković has looked more comfortable than fellow rookie Nate Ament (eight points, three rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers vs. Phoenix), which can be owed to the former’s prior professional experience. The question when training camp opens in September is whether there will be room in the Bucks’ frontcourt rotation for both Marković and Ament.
Brayden Burries

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.
Gary Trent

MIL Guard #5

Bucks signed Gary Trent Jr. to a four-year, $64 million contract.

After playing on the veteran’s minimum each of the last two seasons, Trent is now the fourth-highest-paid player on the Bucks roster. His numbers took a significant hit in 2024-25, with the guard’s scoring average (8.1) being the lowest since his rookie season. However, that did not sway the Bucks from paying Trent handsomely as the franchise moves on from the Giannis Antetokounmpo era. Given the price tag, he should figure prominently in the team’s plans next season, which raises Trent’s fantasy ceiling.
Tyler Herro

MIL Guard

According to multiple reports that have since been verified by their respective teams, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo got into a physical altercation on Friday morning in Las Vegas.

Once teammates, Herro was traded to Milwaukee as part of the deal that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. According to reports, Adebayo took issue with some of the things Herro said on social media in the aftermath of the trade, and the situation came to a head on a practice court at the Resorts World Casino in Las Vegas. Adebayo reportedly struck Herro in the face, but it’s unclear whether the NBA or NBPA will open an investigation into the incident.
Kasparas Jakučionis

MIL Guard

Kasparas Jakučionis recorded 11 points (2-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Heat.

The Bucks viewed Jakučionis as a key player in their negotiations with the Heat over Giannis Antetokounmpo, so it’s safe to assume they’ll do everything they can to make the second-year guard a key contributor next season. In his unofficial Bucks debut, the 6-foot-6 guard shot 0-of-7 from inside the arc. The good news was that Jakučionis did a good job of setting up teammates, and he shot 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. While he isn’t a lock to be fantasy-relevant next season, Jakučionis is worth keeping an eye on.
Nate Ament

MIL Forward

Nate Ament tallied six points (3-of-7 FGs), three rebounds and two assists in Friday’s loss to the Heat.

The 13th overall pick in last month’s draft, Ament did not play in any of Milwaukee’s California Classic games as his contract was being finalized. Having last appeared in a competitive game during the Elite 8, he looked a bit rusty, shooting 0-of-3 from beyond the arc. While fellow lottery pick Brayden Burries was selected three spots higher, Ament’s path to rotation minutes may be clearer since Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis were traded to Miami. However, he has a lot of developing to do, making Ament a more valuable option for dynasty leagues than redraft leagues.
Brayden Burries

MIL Guard

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.
