Brooklyn Nets Summer League: Breaking Down the Roster (Brooklynnets.com)

Half of this summer's 12-player roster was part of the squad last year in Las Vegas.

He played the 2020-21 season with the Long Island Nets, averaging 9.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 12 games and then made four appearances with the Nets in Las Vegas last summer, averaging 6.8 points and 5.0 rebounds. In the G League, he averaged 10.1 points and 6.2 rebounds in 15 games. Kessler Edwards was the first of Brooklyn’s three second-round picks last summer and spent the season on a two-way contract before being signed to a standard contract before the final game of the season. Start with ACC Player of the Year Alondes Williams, who the Nets have signed to a two-way deal. Thomas had his share of highlight moments — a game-winner against the Spurs, a career-high 30 points in Utah, and a dagger 3-pointer to finish off the historic comeback he led in a win against the Knicks. Those last two games were part of a nine-game stretch in which Thomas hit double figures every night and averaged 20.1 points per game. Five of them remain in the mix as they return for their second Summer League run with the Nets and eye the next step in their development. Gates is a veteran of three G League seasons starting in 2018. Guard Donovan Williams is from Houston and played two seasons at Texas before averaging 12.7 points while shooting 42.6 percent from 3-point range for UNLV last season. Forward Brison Gresham played three seasons at Houston before shooting 64.4 percent for Texas Southern last year. That came after Edwards had established himself with a regular spot in the rotation over the final month of the season. Two days after that 46-point showing, he was giving Brooklyn a vital scoring lift off the bench. Thomas fronted a big Brooklyn rookie class for the 2021-22 season that saw its share of NBA action.

Chet Holmgren Shows Glimpse of Potential in NBA Summer League ... (Sports Illustrated)

The Thunder understood the risk in drafting Holmgren. But they also saw the upside, all of which was on display on Tuesday.

“The thing that impresses you the most about him is just for how big he is, he's a playmaker,” said Woods. “And in the modern NBA, you need playmakers all over the floor. Neither is Holmgren. Seated on a makeshift dais—sideways, as Holmgren’s legs didn’t fit under a table—Holmgren says he doesn’t have a weight targeted for the start of the season. He has the skills of an All-Star guard and the frame of McLovin. At his best Holmgren has the potential to further revolutionize the center position. So just try and learn from every single experience, every single moment, each play, each film session, shootaround, whatever it might be, and try to take that forward.” He can’t get by his defender and he realized that early and settled for threes the rest of game. He will need to make difficult shots this season to have a good year because he settles for jumpers and can’t play inside. He's one of those guys that can sit down with guards and he's so long that he can block shots on the perimeter … I knew we had a special talent.” Oklahoma City understood the risk in drafting Holmgren. But they also saw the upside, all of which was on display on Tuesday. Giddey says he envisions he and Holmgren forming a lethal pick-and-pop combination. He has a long way to go.” Cockburn bulldozed by him for a short hook in the first half and Fall moved him at will in the paint. If there is such a thing as a prototypical NBA body, Holmgren’s is the opposite of it. Summer league success translates to the NBA about as often as wiffle ball skills in baseball.

Wieskamp will play with the San Antonio Spurs again this summer after being drafted in the second round by the Spurs a year ago. Garza's option for the 2022-2023 season was not picked up by the Detroit Pistons, so Iowa's all-time leading scorer will run with the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2022 NBA Summer League. Garza appeared in 32 games last year for the Pistons and started in five of them. Take advantage now and be the first to know everything going on regarding Iowa football, basketball, and recruiting! Keegan, we were not very good at shooting the three, we didn't create the threes that we wanted because we didn't touch the paint enough times, but the ones that he had open, he was ready to shoot it, he didn't force it, and overall, I think the kid is very special. I cannot bet, because this is the NBA, but if I could, I'm going to say that he's going to be a very, very good NBA player. Former Hawkeyes Keegan Murray, Joe Wieskamp, and Luka Garza will all take part in the festivities in Las Vegas, which start on July 7.

And now look where he is.” That’s what Miami Heat guard Max Strus told ESPN in a recent story about the importance of Summer League and how it helped him become a starter for a team that made it to the Eastern Conference finals after the 26-year-old went undrafted in 2019. “I think, yes, I would be the guy that people can look at and say, ‘He was in his third year in the NBA, he probably shouldn’t have played Summer League, but he went and did it. Guys like Randy Foye, Josh Selby, and Glen Rice Jr. have also been Summer League MVPs, but so have household names like John Wall, Damian Lillard, and Blake Griffin. Sometimes that trophy means you’re destined for a max contract and shoe deals, sometimes it means that you might not be heard from again, and sometimes it means you’re gonna be a really good role player for a decade. The same thing happened — on a less intense level — to Miami Heat rookie Nikola Jović, a 19-year-old Serbian prospect, after he dropped 25 points and 9 rebounds, though teams and fans in the know have been drooling over him for years. Chet Holmgren, one of the most intriguing prospects basketball has ever seen, played well in his NBA Summer League debut on Tuesday night in Salt Lake City going for 23 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and six blocks. Here’s a story about how boatloads of fans and media members annually exaggerate offseason performances as if they’re indicators of what basketball players will and won’t be for the duration of their careers.

In the backcourt, watch out for ex-San Francisco guard Jamaree Bouyea to become a go-to scoring option in the Heat’s Summer League offense. The Pacers are the other sleeper team to watch, as they have a sneaky-good roster that has ample depth in both the backcourt and frontcourt. Despite this, Isaiah Livers, Saben Lee, and Stanley Umude are more than capable of leading Detroit to a few victories in the summer league format. All-Ivy League first-teamer Noah Kirkwood (Harvard) is a versatile addition to the roster and figures to put up solid production. Last year’s NBA Summer League co-MVP Cam Thomas looks to lead Brooklyn to a Summer League title, and he’ll be joined by fellow 2021 draft picks Day’Ron Sharpe, RaiQuan Gray, and Kessler Edwards. The 2022 Las Vegas Summer League kicks off Thursday, July 7, as all 30 teams will compete over the 11-day event with a shot to be crowned Summer League champs.

On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers began their part of the 2022 NBA Summer League, with a 103-99 loss against the Memphis Grizzlies. Over the course of the.

Reed's stint in the summer league may be a test to see if he's ready to play on the main roster, which isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. Reed getting a double-double in his first game shouldn't be too surprising as he averaged last year in the G-League, averaging 20 points and 13 rebounds per game. During his debut on Tuesday, Mohammed scored only two points, yet proved to be useful elsewhere as he recorded three steals against the Grizzlies. His previous season was a complete reversal of his rookie year, as Queen averaged 25 points, seven rebounds, and five assists per game. One of the bigger aspects of the summer league is that it lets younger players get time to help them develop their game as well as gain exposure. It's this quick break into the scene that makes him a player to look out for during the summer schedule.
