Milwaukee

Bucks

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s a two-year, non-guaranteed contract for Nance. The Bucks somewhat curiously waived the 26-year-old forward last week, but elected to bring him back now. While much remains in flux with the Bucks’ roster, Nance seems ticketed for a reserve role next season. He averaged 5.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game over 47 games (six starts) last season.

The veteran guard will now head to his fourth NBA team after the reported trade between the Bucks and Pistons. Harris has seen his fantasy value decline since leaving Denver via trade in the 2020-21 season, with his minutes and scoring decreasing in each of the past four seasons. He averaged 2.7 points over 48 games for Milwaukee last season and is not expected to be fantasy-relevant with the Pistons.

The multi-player deal will allow Prince to have a fresh start in Detroit and compete for playing time on a contending team. Detroit has a fairly established roster following a first-place finish in the Eastern Conference last season, which will make it difficult for Prince to find enough opportunities to have much fantasy impact. He averaged 9.2 points in only 26 appearances with Milwaukee during the 2025-26 season.

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.

While he didn’t shoot the ball as well as he did on Saturday, Marković once again did a little bit of everything on Monday. He was active on the boards and as a playmaker while also recording four defensive contributions. Given the Bucks’ decision to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo, Marković should have every opportunity to crack the rotation after being stashed overseas last season. He may not be a must-draft player in standard leagues, but managers in deeper formats should track Marković’s play throughout the summer and preseason.

The 13th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Lewis is still looking to cement his status as an NBA player after injuries limited his opportunities in New Orleans. The 25-year-old last appeared in the NBA during the 2023-24 season, so a good showing for the Bucks at the California Classic and in Las Vegas is essential. Despite the Bucks losing by 20 on Sunday, Lewis made sound decisions with the ball as a playmaker for others and in getting his own shots. With Milwaukee rebuilding and having an open two-way contract slot, the door may be open for Lewis, even if he only earns a training camp invite.
