Bobby Portis says Milwaukee Bucks have a player like Andrew Nembhard he expects to step up this season

Bobby Portis makes Andrew Nembhard comparison for Ryan Rollins Last season, Andrew Nembhard stepped up for the Indiana Pacers during crucial moments come playoff time. It helped the Pacers reduce the workload of stars like Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam. The result? The Pacers reached the 2025 NBA Finals. Similarly, Portis expects Ryan Rollins to become that player for the Bucks in the upcoming season. “Ryan Rollins, he’s going to have a significant role in the second unit with me,” Portis said, via Run It Back on FanDuel TV. He added: “He’s like an Andrew Nembhard type player that can impact the game on both sides, picking up guys full court, handling the ball, being able to be a combo guard, and he shoots the three ball as well. Just a great decision maker.” With Nembhard expected to be the Pacers’ most exciting player next season, it’s certainly a confidence booster for Rollins to be compared to him.
