Ryan Rollins

Despite a poor shooting performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Milwaukee's last game - to be fair, there weren't too many players with good shooting numbers in that one - Ryan Rollins has been one of the Bucks on the rise in Summer League. Rollins raised his stock even further with an impressive showing versus LA.

Coming off the bench, Rollins led the entire team with 24 points, showing off his versatility as a scorer by hitting shots from the outside, at the hoop and at the foul line. Even when met with stout defense, he looked comfortable under pressure and consistently sunk his shot. He shot an extremely efficient 8-of-12 from the floor, including 2-of-5 from behind the arc.

Rollins did far more than just score, as he stuffed the stat sheet with four rebounds, three assists and a block and steal apiece while playing strong individual defense. Like Livingston, the guard showed he is more than willing to embrace the Swiss Army Knife role and do whatever it takes to help the team, which is undeniably admirable as he aims to make a name for himself.

At the time of this writing, Rollins is on a two-way deal with the Bucks. If he continues playing like this, he could end up being a hidden gem for the team, as he's displayed that he has all of the tools to be a nice player at the next level. The Milwaukee Bucks don't have any open roster spots right now, but if a vacancy opens in the future and they need a guard, these performances may be taken into account.
