Ryan Rollins - Closes season out of rotation Rollins didn't play in Tuesday's Game 5 loss to the Pacers. He finished the regular season with averages of 6.2 points, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 14.6 minut...
Impact Although Rollins played just 30 minutes across his three postseason appearances, he stepped up for Milwaukee late in the regular season while Damian Lillard (Achilles) was nursing a blood clot in his calf. Over his final 13 regular-season outings (11 starts), Rollins averaged 10.8 points, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor and 47.8 percent from deep. Rollins is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, although the Bucks could make it something of a priority to retain his services, with Lillard's 2025-26 campaign being in jeopardy.

Pat Connaughton - Minimal role in 2024-25 Connaughton didn't play in Tuesday's Game 5 loss to the Pacers. He closed the regular season with averages of 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.6 three-pointe...
Impact Connaughton's playing time in Milwaukee continued to dwindle in 2024-25, as it was his fourth straight season that his minutes per game declined. The veteran sharpshooter also totaled just 13 minutes across three playoff appearances this year. With Taurean Prince and Gary Trent headed for unrestricted free agency this summer, however, Connaughton could find himself in a more prominent three-and-D role for the Bucks if he picks up his 2025-26 player option.

Andre Jackson Jr. - Quiet finish to 2024-25 Jackson didn't play in Tuesday's Game 5 loss to the Pacers. He ended the regular season with averages of 3.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.5 steals in 14.6 minutes per ga...
Impact Despite appearing in just two postseason games, Jackson played a significant role for the Bucks in the middle part of the regular season. The 23-year-old shot 47.7 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from downtown on the campaign, but he averaged just 5.9 minutes across his final 16 outings of the regular year. Jackson is under contract for 2025-26, but his role ahead of the new season remains relatively uncertain while Milwaukee's direction is in a state of flux.
