Malique Lewis

Malique Lewis is Milwaukee's No. 60 draft-rights wing, an athletic defense-first prospect whose steals-and-stocks appeal is real but whose contract and crowded roster path remain unsettled.

Rights team: Milwaukee Bucks · Position: F · Age: 21 · Status cutoff: 2026-07-18

The line applies only after an NBA/two-way contract; Milwaukee's representative healthy rotation assigns him zero. The official draft profile records that Milwaukee acquired his rights and gives a 2025-26 NBL line of 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 21.2 minutes on .452/.375/.826 shooting.

Career record

Pre-NBA: Trinidad-born pro since 16. Fuenlabrada, Spain (2021-23; 4.8 PTS / 3.5 REB in about 18 MPG in ACB 2022-23, including a 24-point game as an 18-year-old). Mexico City Capitanes, G League (2023-24; 50 GP, 8.3 PTS / 5.8 REB in 25-plus MPG). South East Melbourne Phoenix, NBL Next Star (2024-25: 6.8 PTS / 4.1 REB / 1.0 AST; 2025-26: 7.1 PTS / 4.3 REB / 2.2 AST / 1.2 STL / 0.6 BLK on 46-39-80 regular-season shooting). Draft: 2026, Round 2, Pick 60, Washington Wizards; rights traded to Milwaukee on draft night.

No NBA record. Most recent season: 2025-26 with South East Melbourne (NBL), roughly 7/4/2 with 1.2 steals in about 21 minutes.

Durability: Missed about a month of NBL26 with a pneumothorax and a hamstring injury; otherwise durable, including a 50-game G League season at 19.

Trajectory: The record shows a defense-first wing who has been playing pro basketball against grown competition for five years and is still only 21 — the shooting climb from ACB bench player to 39% NBL three-point shooter is the meaningful development. He has never carried offensive volume anywhere, so the fantasy case rests entirely on stocks plus threes. In 2026-27 he competes for a two-way or rights-stash outcome with Milwaukee, with zero healthy-rotation minutes. He becomes fantasy-relevant only in dynasty formats, and in redraft only if a rebuild-tilted Bucks season hands him roughly 18 wing minutes, where one-plus stocks with a corner three is the deep-league line.
