Milwaukee Bucks undrafted free agency tracker, including players acquired so far

The Milwaukee Bucks have made their two selections in the 2024 NBA draft with the picks of two 19-year-olds in AJ Johnson and Tyler Smith.

But the roster additions aren't over with the draft.

The Bucks are now adding undrafted free agents that will fill out their summer league roster with the potential of making the team in the fall.

Teams are allowed to sign 3 two-way players (contracts that allow players to split their time between the NBA club and their G League team). The Bucks currently have forward Jaylin Galloway on a two-way contract for next season.

UPDATE: Guard TyTy Washington Jr., who was on a two-way deal last season, was not eligible for a qualifying offer per a league source. He is now a free agent.

An Exhibit 10 contract is one that gives the team an option to convert a training camp deal to a two-way. Other deals are for training camp only.

Here's a look at the players acquired so far, with contract details added as they are determined:

Philip Alston

The 6-8, 235-pound forward out of Loyola University averaged 13.6 points per game in his two seasons with the Ramblers. He shot 40% from behind the three-point line in 2022-23 but dipped to 25% last year. The Columbus, Ohio native played two seasons at Division II California University of Pennsylvania. As a freshman in 2019-20, he suffered a cardiac arrest during a scrimmage. After a life-flight to a hospital, it was determined his heart was OK but an ulcer in his digestive tract had been bleeding, limiting supply to his heart.

Alston posted a message "Thank you God" with the emoji associated with praying on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter over a report from DraftExpress.com that he had signed with the Bucks.

Vin Baker Jr.

Baker Jr. is set to make his second straight summer appearance for the Bucks after appearing in two games in Las Vegas last July, per his agency. He averaged 13.5 points per game last season for Randers Cimbria in Denmark. Undrafted out of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2023, the 6-foot, 9-inch forward averaged 2.2 points per game over 53 appearances with the Panthers from 2021-23.

Devine Eke

The 27-year-old professional out of the Basketball Africa League (BAL) has joined the Bucks summer league team, per ESPN. The forward initially played high school ball at Union Catholic High School in New Jersey before going to The Robinson School, a prep school in Phoenix. He then played collegiately at the University of Maine, Rider University and Radford University. Eke has played internationally as a pro, most recently with the Rivers Hoopers of the BAL. Per ESPN, Bucks scout Dzaflo Larkai was on hand to see Eke. Milwaukee had hired scouting coordinator Ijeoma Ofomata out of the league, which team co-owner and governor Wes Edens is a significant investor in.

Jalen Lewis

Lewis made news when he signed with Overtime Elite after his sophomore year at Bishop O’Dowd High School in 2021, making him the youngest American professional basketball player ever. He was the No. 2 recruit in the nation at the time.

The 6-foot, 10-inch forward spent three seasons at Overtime Elite but played just four games last season. In his career he averaged 4.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game for the organization.

He helped the U16 USA team win the FIBA Americas gold medal.

Andscape.com initially reported the signing.

Justin Moore

Moore's agency announced his signing with the Bucks after a five-year career at Villanova. Moore played in 134 games (119 starts) and averaged 12.4 points per game while shooting 34.6% from behind the three-point line. The 6-5, 210-pound guard returned to play after tearing his right Achilles tendon in March, 2022. Last year was interrupted with a knee sprain. His best scoring season was during the 2020-21 Final Four run in which he averaged 14.8 points per game.

Stanley Umude

The Bucks signed the 25-year-old shooting guard to a two-way deal after he spent two seasons with Detroit. Last season Umude's two-way with the Pistons was converted to a full deal, but his season ended early with a broken right ankle. In his 24 games he shot 45% from behind the three-point line. Umude was originally undrafted out of Arkansas in 2022. The Athletic initially reported the deal.
