As is well documented, the Bucks have a lot of guards on the roster.

Kel’el Ware is ready to break out with the Bucks
It’s a Tuesday morning. 4:51 a.m. The time of day that doesn’t really exist. The streets are quiet, save for the sound of a car door closing, a motor willing itself uphill in the distance. Then nothing, just the gentle caress of the passing wind. Inside, you lie in bed, watching as the black begins […]
Summer League Recap: Kings 95, Bucks 89

Bucks waive Pete Nance
With the Bucks having 17 rostered players, cuts were going to have to happen at some point, and Pete Nance is the first casualty.
