A second-round draft pick in 2015, Connaughton signed with the Bucks as a free agent in 2018 after spending three seasons in Portland. He became a key rotation player for the team over the next several years and was one of the few members of the Bucks’ 2021 championship team left on last season’s roster.
Connaughton signed a three-year, $28 million deal with Milwaukee in 2023.
