Bucks Summer League Primer

Summer League is upon us, folks. As Deolu wrote about back in early May, the Milwaukee Bucks will take part in the California Classic Summer League in addition to the standard NBA Summer League this year. Being a younger team now, this should 1) give players more opportunities to develop and 2) give coaches and front office members more chances to evaluate.

Schedule

The dates for each of the three California Classic Summer League games are as follows:

• July 4, 2:00 p.m. CDT vs. Golden State Warriors
• July 5, 2:00 p.m. CDT vs. Brooklyn Nets
• July 6, 9:00 p.m. CDT vs. Sacramento Kings

The Bucks will then get a few days off before they travel to Vegas for NBA Summer League. The schedule for that is as follows:

• July 10, 3:00 p.m. CDT vs. Miami Heat (did someone say grudge match!?)
• July 12, 8:00 p.m. CDT vs. San Antonio Spurs
• July 13, 9:00 p.m. CDT vs. Phoenix Suns
• July 15, 6:30 p.m. CDT vs. Charlotte Hornets

From there, Milwaukee will play at least one more game, which will be announced at a later date based on seeding.

Roster

The Bucks announced the following roster for the California Classic Summer League:

• Zack Austin
• Brandon Boston Jr.
• Brayden Burries
• John Butler Jr.
• Rafael Castro
• Jesse Edwards
• Kuany Kuany
• Kira Lewis Jr.
• Malique Lewis
• Bogoljub Markovic
• Kevin ‘Boopie’ Miller Jr.
• Pete Nance
• Cormac Ryan
• Kobe Stewart
• Earl Timberlake Jr.
• Luke Travers
• Aaron Williams

Note: Nate Ament and Kasparas Jakucionis are presumably not playing in the California Classic due to the Giannis trade not being able to be finalised until July 6; expect both to play in Vegas. We will provide further updates on any other roster changes as they occur.

The Brew Hoop team should have rapid recaps up following each game. Go Bucks!
