Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins is quickly becoming a name to watch as the NBA playoffs heat up. After starting the season on a two-way contract, Rollins earned a full roster spot in March and has since delivered steady performances, including a recent playoff appearance against the Indiana Pacers.
Rollins’ journey has been anything but straightforward. Drafted in and shuffled between teams, the 22-year-old finally found his stride in Milwaukee. With Damian Lillard sidelined, Rollins stepped up, averaging career-high numbers and showcasing his defensive versatility. His ability to shoot from deep—over 40% from beyond the arc—has made him a valuable asset, and the Bucks have outscored opponents when he’s on the court.
Meanwhile, AJ Green has played a supporting role for the Bucks, often working alongside Rollins in the backcourt. Green’s hustle and timely plays have helped stabilize Milwaukee’s rotation, especially during critical playoff moments.
On the other side, Pacers forward Obi Toppin saw limited action in Game against the Bucks, logging just minutes and struggling to make an impact as Indiana took the series lead. With both teams adjusting their lineups, all eyes are on how these young players will respond as the series continues.
Will Rollins’ rise continue, and can Toppin and Green make their mark in the postseason spotlight? The next games could be decisive for all three.
