The final day of the 2026 Las Vegas Summer League delivered a little bit of everything from the rookie class: a top-three pick doing top-three-pick things, a title-game star, and a string of undrafted players who kept making noise.
The No. 3 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft put together one of the day’s cleanest all-around lines, finishing with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. He went 7-of-17 from the floor, 3-of-7 from 3-point range and 1-of-3 at the line.
Another undrafted free agent helped his team to a 108-90 win against Oklahoma City, posting 12 points, 4 rebounds, an assist and zero turnovers. He shot 4-of-7 from the field, 0-of-1 from beyond the arc and 2-of-2 from the charity stripe.
One of the strongest stat lines of the day belonged to an undrafted free agent who filled up the box score with 16 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 2 steals. He shot 5-of-12 from the field, 2-of-3 from deep and 2-of-2 from the free throw line.
There was also a steady scoring night from another undrafted free agent, who finished with 15 points, 9 rebounds and zero turnovers. He went 4-of-10 from the field, 1-of-5 from 3-point range and 3-of-3 at the line.
Efficiency showed up too. An undrafted free agent logged 16 points, a rebound, 2 steals and zero turnovers while shooting 7-of-8 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free throw line.
Defensive impact came through as well. Another undrafted free agent produced 14 points, 4 rebounds, an assist, 3 blocks and 3 steals, hitting 5-of-10 shots, 2-of-6 from deep and 1-of-1 at the line.
The biggest stage belonged to the No. 11 pick, who came through in the Summer League title game with 21 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in a 94-90 win against Memphis. He shot 9-of-18 from the field, 2-of-6 from beyond the arc and 1-of-1 from the free throw line.
Lendeborg was named Championship Game MVP for that performance.
The day also included one more undrafted free agent who finished with 13 points and a steal while shooting 6-of-14 from the field and 1-of-7 from deep.

How Low Is Too Low For This Grizzlies Reset
Memphis has already made the kind of reset that usually defines an era, moving on from Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane and shifting the spotlight to a younger group headlined by Cedric Coward, Zach Edey, Jaylen Wells and newly acquired Cameron Boozer. For a franchise that spent years trying to thread the needle between development and contention, the new direction is a clear break from the past and a bet that a fresh core can grow together with more stability than the roster had last season.

Memphis is not being framed as a playoff threat, but there is a real case for the Grizzlies to clear the 23.5-win line and land closer to 27.5 if health and continuity finally work in their favor. For a team trying to measure the floor of a rebuild, even that modest climb would matter. [Read more 🡒]
