Of the top picks in action over the past week, none has been more impressive than Green, who scored 61 points in 72 minutes, before suffering a hamstring injury that will surely sideline him the remainder of summer league. In particular, Green's ability to make pull-up 3-pointers off the dribble has stood out, including four unassisted 3s in two-plus games.
That's typically a skill pick-and-roll ball handlers don't develop until much later in their careers. Green did struggle against Detroit when the Pistons trapped his pick-and-rolls, a summer league rarity. That's a point of adjustment as he prepares for more difficult competition in the regular season.
So aside from seven appearances in the G League bubble, this has been our first extended look at Jones. He has impressed, averaging Long-range shooting has been a weakness for Jones, who went 1-of from 3-point range in the G League. He hasn't entirely answered that question -- making three treys in as many games -- so much as he has overcome it with his ability to create shots inside the arc.
Jones' 24 2-pointers were third among all players through Saturday's games. Among the handful of second-year players who look like they have no reason to be playing summer league basketball, Maxey leads the list. Less than two months ago, Maxey scored 16 points off the bench to help the Sixers win Game 6 of their playoff series against the Hawks in Atlanta and force a deciding Game 7 at home, so it's no surprise he has overwhelmed opponents at this level of competition.
In 58 minutes, Maxey scored 52 points averaging 26 per game, the highest of anyone in Las Vegas before heading home to host a youth camp. Without him, a Philadelphia squad that started lost by 20 on Saturday to the undefeated Boston Celtics. The 76ers have gotten strong contributions from their other draft picks. It's no surprise that Murphy has been an efficient scorer after posting a season at Virginia last season.
I was more impressed by the passing ability Murphy flashed against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, when he handed out seven assists as part of a line that would work on the nearby Las Vegas Strip: 7 points, 7 boards, 7 assists. Murphy never had seven assists in an NCAA game and only handed out more than four once, back in , while playing for Rice before transferring. Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson was a popular comparison for Murphy during the draft process, and thus far Murphy looks similarly capable of contributing immediately as a more experienced rookie -- akin to Chris Duarte of the Indiana Pacers.
In the three games he played before leaving for what Celtics summer league coach Joe Mazzulla termed "a prior engagement," Pritchard was the best player in the NBA summer league by my assessment.
Although not quite as dominant as some of the other second-year point guards in Las Vegas Maxey and New York's Immanuel Quickley , Pritchard stood out with his efficiency. Absent Pritchard, Boston has rolled along undefeated with another candidate for this list in fellow first-round pick Aaron Nesmith , who has averaged One of the big questions coming into summer league was whether Sengun's statistical dominance in his native Turkey would translate against more physical competition.
Although summer league isn't the same as NBA competition, so far, so good for Sengun -- perhaps the most productive rookie in Las Vegas. But he has compensated for that with his uncanny ability to make good things happen. That starts with getting to the foul line a remarkable 24 times in three games. I've been pleasantly surprised by Sengun's shot-blocking. He has swat three shots per game, putting him among summer league leaders. Only Daniel Oturu has averaged more.
And Sengun has been predictably outstanding on the glass, averaging Before summer league started, I wrote of Thomas in our preview : "I'd expect a 2-of shooting night at some point, but also expect a game where he goes off for 30 points and leaves viewers wondering how he was still available at the 27th pick.
Thomas did have a tough shooting night in his Las Vegas debut 5-of, 1-of-6 from 3 , but not nearly as bad as I predicted. Meanwhile, he has gone for plus twice, leading all players in scoring thus far And Thomas ended his other game with an improbable one-foot floater from 3-point range in double overtime to beat the Milwaukee Bucks.
Ideally, we'd see more contributions from Thomas besides scoring. His four assists against Milwaukee were encouraging, before Thomas had just one each in his point games. And he has combined for seven rebounds in minutes.
Still, Thomas' ability to score prolifically and efficiently thanks largely to 33 free throws in 39 attempts has been impressive. It's been a great summer for Turkish centers. Yurtseven, who recently re-signed with the Heat for two years as a restricted free agent after joining the team late in the regular season, has also been among the most productive players in summer league. That started in Sacramento, where Yurtseven averaged 26 points in two games of the California Classic.
Always a productive player -- he was among the leaders in my wins above replacement player metric in the G League bubble -- Yurtseven has surprised with his shot-blocking in summer league.
