The 2013 Aquinas High School graduate started all four seasons for the Badgers, helping the team get to the Final Four in 2014 and 2015.
Last year, Koenig set a single-season UW record with 103 3-pointers made and finished the school’s all-time leader with 270.
NBA rules permit teams to have two two-way players on their roster at any given time, in addition to their 15-man regular-season roster.
A two-way player can spend up to 45 days with the NBA franchise, not including any time prior to the start of the G-league training camp and at the conclusion of the season.
Koenig is set to compete for the Bucks entry in the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
