Free agent guard Ryan Rollins is signing a two-way contract with the Bucks, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Rollins was selected 44th overall in the 2022 draft after two college seasons at Toledo. He only appeared in 12 games as a rookie last season with the Warriors, who traded him to the Wizards last summer as part of the Chris Paul/Jordan Poole deal.
The 21-year-old didn’t play much for Washington either, making 10 appearances for 66 total minutes in 2023-24 before the Wizards released him in January. A few days later, it was reported that Rollins was accused of repeatedly shoplifting from a Target store in Virginia. He was charged with seven counts of petit larceny, which is considered a Class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia.
It’s unclear what came of his legal situation, as he had a court hearing scheduled for February. But evidently, the Bucks felt comfortable taking a chance on Rollins, who was viewed as having defensive upside and an ability to create shots when he was drafted.
Milwaukee has a pair of two-way openings, so the team won’t have to release anyone to add Rollins.
