Top Rookie Performances from Final Day of 2026 Las Vegas Summer League

The 2026 Las Vegas Summer League came to an end on July 19.

Just a few weeks after the 2026 NBA Draft, this year's rookie class got its first taste of action as players begin to settle in alongside their new teammates.

After the Salt Lake City Summer League and California Classic finished, the Las Vegas Summer League, which featured a more robust list of teams and players, started on July 9.

A few first-year players showed positive flashes, but had inefficient performances, which is normal for rookies during their first games against professional competition.
