Bucks' Bogoljub Markovic: Sinks four triples in SL loss
Rotowire
Markovic supplied 16 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes in Monday's 95-88 Summer League loss to the Suns.
After missing his first three attempts from beyond the arc, Markovic knocked down each of his final four three-point tries and finished as Milwaukee's second-leading scorer. He also tied for the team lead in rebounds. The 2025 second-round pick is far from guaranteed a consistent role for the Bucks in 2026-27 and may spend time with the club's G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, as he continues to develop his three-point shot and overall game.

Additionally, he filled up the stat sheet on the defensive end, closing as one of three Bucks players with four combined steals-plus-blocks.

Bucks' Bogoljub Markovic: Drafted by Milwaukee
Rotowire
Markovic was selected by the Bucks with the No. 47 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Markovic is an impressive shooter for his size, as he knocked down 37.0 percent of his attempts from downtown during the 2024-25 season with Mega Basket of the Adriatic Basketball Association in Serbia, the same club that Nikola Jokic previously suited up for. While Markovic has shown plenty of upside in the early stages of his career, this appears to be a stash pick for Milwaukee, meaning the 6-foot-11 forward wouldn't join the club until the 2026-27 campaign.
