The Warriors unknown second-round pick is now the Bucks leading point guard?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks at home 123-114 after overtime. After this game, the 76ers, who had won two of the last three games, improved their record to 8-5, and their ranking rose to fifth in the Eastern Conference; while the Bucks, who suffered two consecutive losses, saw their record drop to 8-7, and their ranking fell to 11th in the Eastern Conference.

Although the Bucks lost the game, the performance of the team's starting point guard Ryan Rollins was impressive. Rollins played 40 minutes and 27 seconds, shooting 13 of 26, 2 of 8 from beyond the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a team-high 32 points, 6 rebounds, 14 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus of -15. Rollins has shown superb scoring ability on the offensive end. He continues to score through breakthroughs. He also has certain stability in mid- and long-range shooting. As the core of the team's backcourt, Rollins' role in passing and organizing offense is also very obvious, and he also plays a key effect. In this game, Rollins fully utilized his talents on the offensive end while holding a large amount of the ball. In the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks were able to fight until the last moment of the game solely because of Rollins' personal ability, otherwise they would have been unable to hold on.

In the NBA regular season last season, Rollins played a total of 56 times on behalf of the Bucks in 82 games, averaging 14.6 minutes per game and averaging 14.6 minutes per game. 6.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. The shooting percentage was 48.7%, the three-point shooting percentage was 40.8%, and the free throw percentage was 80%. In the playoffs, Rollins played a total of 3 times, averaging 10 minutes per game. He averaged 3.3 points, 0.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals, and 1.3 fouls. He shot 30.8% from the field and 28.6% from the three-point range. Since the start of this season, Rollins has averaged 31.5 minutes per game in the first 16 games, averaging 18.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also has 2.5 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 51.1%, 44.3% from three-point range, and 80% from free throws.

Due to the departure of Damian Lillard and the injury of Kevin Porter Jr. this season, Rollins directly became the starting point guard of the Bucks. His playing time has been greatly improved, and he has repaid the trust of the team's coaching staff with his performance. Rollins' performance during this period can even be said to be at a star level. His skills are exquisite, his dribbling ability is excellent, his scoring ability is super strong, and he also has good passing and organizational skills. It is worth mentioning that Rollins signed a three-year contract with the Bucks this summer with a total amount of US$12 million, of which the third year of the contract is a player option. His salary this season is $4 million. Everyone may have thought that Rollins, a once unknown second-round pick from the Golden State Warriors, would at best play the role of a backup point guard in the second team with the Bucks, but he didn't expect that he would achieve such a big breakout.
