The second day of the 2026 Las Vegas Summer League brought a full slate of rookie flashes, with several first-year players and undrafted free agents making their mark as the event picked up steam on July 9.
The No. 3 overall pick delivered one of the cleanest all-around lines of the day, finishing with 23 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal and a block in a 97-96 win against Chicago. He shot 7-of-12 from the field, hit his only 3-point attempt and went a perfect 5-of-5 at the line.
The No. 6 pick was just as sharp in a 91-65 victory against New York Knicks, putting up 20 points with 3 assists, a rebound, 2 steals and a block. He went 6-of-12 overall, 3-of-6 from beyond the arc and 3-of-3 on free throws.
There was plenty of production beyond the lottery names, too. The No. 10 pick posted 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists without turning it over, while shooting 6-of-15 from the field. The No. 24 pick matched that scoring total with 18 points of his own, adding 2 rebounds, an assist, 2 blocks and a steal.
The No. 27 pick turned in a strong two-way effort in an 83-80 win against Toronto, finishing with 14 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and a steal. He knocked down 2-of-4 from deep and went 5-of-13 overall.
The No. 37 pick also made noise in a 119-86 win against Milwaukee, scoring 19 points with 3 assists, a rebound, a block and zero turnovers. The shot diet was a little uneven, but the production was there.
A pair of undrafted free agents got into the mix as well. One logged 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in a 97-86 win against Denver, while another finished with 12 points, 6 assists, 2 steals and a block while going 4-of-5 from the field.
The No. 19 pick put together one of the best rebounding nights of the day, finishing with 22 points, 13 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. The No. 49 pick answered with a team-high 24 points, plus 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
More strong stat lines kept rolling in. Another undrafted free agent had 16 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal. The No. 47 pick scored 18 points, added four rebounds and didn’t commit a turnover, while drilling 6-of-10 from 3-point range.
The No. 30 pick contributed 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and a block. Another undrafted free agent added 16 points, 4 rebounds, a steal and a block. The No. 16 pick led his team with 18 points and chipped in 2 assists, a steal and a block.
The No. 34 pick produced 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and no turnovers. The No. 31 pick went off for a game-high 27 points, along with 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.
Two more undrafted free agents rounded out the day’s standout performances. One finished with 10 points and 7 rebounds, and another posted 16 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and zero turnovers.
And then there was Wilson. He erupted for a game-high 35 points, going 12-of-21 from the field and 7-of-11 from 3-point range while also adding 5 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals. The No. 4 pick also went 2-of-6 from the free throw line.

Raptors Coach Just Pumped The Brakes On Allen Graves Buzz
Allen Graves made a strong first impression in his Summer League debut, even if the Raptors came up short against Boston. The first-round pick showed the kind of all-around impact Toronto was hoping to see, finishing with 22 points, 13 rebounds, three steals and two blocks while flashing the instincts that have made him such an intriguing fit for the organization.
Ivo Simovic liked what he saw from Gravess basketball IQ, but he also made sure to keep the moment in perspective. Summer League can be a useful snapshot, not a final verdict, and Toronto still has to figure out how quickly Graves can translate that promise into the teams defensive structure and half-court offense alongside pieces like Scottie Barnes, Collin Murray-Boyles and Jakob Poeltl.

Raptors May Have Quietly Solved One Problem Fans Kept Overlooking
The Raptors have spent much of the summer trying to build a bench that can keep the offense organized and the defense connected when the starters sit, and a veteran forward with 12 years of NBA experience gives them a very different look in that role. The fit is easy to understand: he has already crossed paths with Darko Rajakovic, and his game is built more around making the right read and staying in front of people than piling up points.
Toronto also had a roster opening to address after Sandro Mamukelashvili moved on to the Lakers, so this addition feels like more than a simple depth move. There is a familiar thread here too, with past overlap involving Kawhi Leonard adding another layer to the signing, but the bigger question is how quickly this new piece can settle into the second unit and help smooth out the minutes that have been such a problem for the Raptors.
