Marcus Garrett - Lands Exhibit 10 deal Garrett signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Garrett has appeared in just 16 regular-season games in the NBA, with his last NBA appearance coming with the Hornets in the 2024-25 season. He will likely be waived before joining the Wisconsin Herd for the 2026-27 season.

Ousmane Dieng - Shooting woes in preseason finale Dieng recorded four points (2-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 128-127 preseason win over the Pacers in overtime.

Impact Dieng moved to the bench Friday after starting Wednesday's loss to Chicago. He struggled mightily with efficiency in Milwaukee's preseason finale, missing all six of his three-point tries. The 23-year-old forward is expected to compete with Gary Trent and Nate Ament (ankle) for minutes to begin the regular season.

Kasparas Jakucionis - Dishes out six assists Friday Jakucionis finished Friday's 128-127 preseason win over the Pacers in overtime with three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and four rebounds across 14 minutes off the...

Impact Jakucionis shifted back to a bench role Friday with Milwaukee's projected starting unit back in action. The 20-year-old point guard struggled with efficiency but led Milwaukee in assists. The Bucks have a crowded backcourt, meaning Jakucionis will face plenty of competition for minutes to begin the regular season.

Tyrese Haliburton - Strong end to preseason Haliburton amassed 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's 128-127 preseason loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Haliburton did just about everything anyone could have asked during the preseason, an encouraging sign for anyone considering him in drafts. While there has been some skepticism as to whether he could be limited to begin the season, all signs point to him being 100 healthy. With that said, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if there are some maintenance days early on. Based on everything we know, he is worth a look towards the back end of the first round or preferably early in the second.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Struggles despite start Oubre finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in 16 minutes during Friday's 128-127 preseason loss to the Bucks.

Impact Oubre remained in the starting lineup, although he failed to deliver in any way, shapre or form. While it has been a decent preseason for Oubre, the simple fact is that his production can be sporadic, making him a tough player to roster with any confidence. He will almost certainly play a major role off the bench for his new team, likely flirting with 27 minutes on most nights. However, poor efficiency and a lack of consistent peripheral production makes him nothing more than a stream-level player.

Brayden Burries - Strong performance off bench Burries recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 128-127 preseason win over Indiana.

Impact Fresh off a 19-point performance against the Bulls, Burries turned in another encouraging performance, despite continuing to struggle from the perimeter. He has now gone 1-of-11 from the three-point line over his past two games, which could simply be a sign of nerves. With that said, he has been more than adequate on the defensive end, tallying six steals in that same span. While he isn't a must-roster player in standard leagues, he is certainly someone to monitor closely, especially if Milwaukee struggles out of the gate.

Kel'el Ware - Serviceable effort in preseason win Ware finished with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Friday's 128-127 preseason win over the Pacers.

Impact Ware cobbled together another serviceable performance, rounding out what has been a relatively encouraging preseason. While there has been a lot of hype around Ware and what his role might look like in Milwaukee, fantasy managers are no clearer when it comes to his projected playing time. With that said, he will almost certainly see more of the floor than he did last season, making him an acceptable target in the later middle rounds.
