The fifth day of the 2026 Las Vegas Summer League brought a little bit of everything from this rookie class: big scoring nights, playmaking, defensive activity and the usual uneven shooting that comes with first-year players finding their footing against pro competition.
A few of the headliners were the lottery names, and they showed why they were drafted so high. The No. 10 pick put up a game-high 23 points and filled out the box score with 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and a block, even while going 8-of-15 from the field and 3-of-8 from deep. The No. 4 pick also delivered across the board, finishing with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals in a 102-90 win against Boston.
The No. 3 pick posted 21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, though the shotmaking came and went as he went 7-of-17 overall and 2-of-8 from 3-point range. The No. 19 pick added 13 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals while connecting on 3-of-5 attempts from beyond the arc. The No. 39 pick also made his presence felt, scoring 19 points with 4 assists and 3 steals.
There were strong all-around lines from several players who helped swing games. The No. 25 pick finished with 16 points and 12 assists, plus a rebound and a block, in a 96-88 win against Memphis.
The No. 30 pick had 19 points, 6 rebounds, an assist and 2 steals in a 95-88 win against Milwaukee. The No. 34 pick turned in one of the biggest scoring bursts of the day, dropping a game-high 35 points with 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and a block in a 90-73 win against Miami.
Some of the best performances came from players outside the lottery and even from undrafted names. One undrafted free agent logged 11 points, 10 rebounds, an assist, 2 steals and a block.
Another undrafted free agent scored 22 points with 4 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal. A different undrafted free agent put up 11 points, a rebound, an assist and zero turnovers while hitting 3-of-8 from 3-point range.
More standout efforts kept coming. The No. 27 pick scored a team-high 16 points and added 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks.
The No. 50 pick had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in a 94-93 win against Indiana. The No. 59 pick contributed 10 points, 6 rebounds, an assist and a steal.
The No. 40 selection finished with 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
The 2025 NBA Draft also had a name in the mix, as the No. 47 pick from that class logged 16 points, 8 rebounds, an assist and a block while shooting 4-of-7 from 3-point range.
A few more undrafted players rounded out the day’s best stat lines. One had 10 points, 7 rebounds and an assist.
Another chipped in 8 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks and zero turnovers. The No. 52 pick added 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block while going 4-of-6 from deep.
The box scores were messy in spots, but that’s part of the summer league rhythm. The production was there, and a handful of rookies and undrafted players made sure their first run in Las Vegas stood out.

Cameron Boozers first Summer League look in a Grizzlies uniform came with the kind of shooting night that can make a fan base pause, even if only briefly. The youngest player Memphis selected in the 2026 NBA Draft struggled from deep against Dallas, but the larger takeaway was less about one rough box score and more about how quickly he brushed off the concern that comes with the NBAs longer three-point line.
Boozer pointed to his college track record at Duke and the basketball background that shaped him long before he reached the league, a reminder that Memphis is betting on a player who believes his shot will translate. He also acknowledged the Grizzlies overall struggles in the game and said the team has to make better plays, which leaves the bigger question hanging for now: how long it takes for the production to match the confidence.
