The Bucks released a behind-the-scenes look at their 2025 draft and free‑agency push, highlighting Bogoljub Marković and Mark Sears. Marković was selected at 47 and is slated to be a draft‑and‑stash prospect for Milwaukee, while Sears signed a two‑way deal out of Alabama. Sears sat out Summer League with a calf strain, clouding immediate rotation plans.

The video tours the draft war room and Las Vegas prep, confirming free‑agent visits from Miles Turner and Cole Anthony in Las Vegas to sign their contracts. Marković logged five Summer League appearances, averaging 8 points on 48.3% shooting with 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists, including a 14‑point game on July 13. He’ll return to Mega Basket next season as a draft‑and‑stash prospect. Sears will split time between the NBA and the Wisconsin Herd, active for up to 50 games and earning 50% of the rookie minimum.

Milwaukee’s plan blends international upside with NBA depth, suggesting a long view on roster development. For fantasy, Marković offers late‑round potential, Sears adds two‑way upside, and Turner/Anthony provide veteran depth that could be meaningful if injuries strike or roles shift.

Kevin Durant’s move to the Houston Rockets redefines the Southwest. Houston, fresh off a 52-win surprise and a playoff flirtation, adds elite scoring and high-level playmaking in Durant, pairing him with Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun. The frontcourt depth arrives with Clint Capela and Dorian Finney-Smith, while Josh Okogie helps the wings. The offense should surge from 114.3 points per game, and the Rockets look like the team to beat in the division, with a real shot to challenge the West’s top-tier teams.
