Cameron is one of the first New Zealand-born players to participate in the Las Vegas Summer League. He was the NBL Most Improved Player for the 2025-26 season for the Adelaide 36ers. This offseason, he signed with the Southwest Metro Pirates in the NBL1 League, which is a developmental league for Australia.

He spent two seasons at DePaul from 2018 to 2020 before transferring to UC Riverside, where he used the final three years of his collegiate eligibility. In his best collegiate season, he averaged 13.6 points and 5.4 rebounds for UC Riverside in his senior year.

Carr returns to the Blazers' summer league squad after participating last year. He joined the Rip City Remix last season in the G League, and there is potential for him to remain with them if he has a solid showing in Las Vegas. The 6-11 center played college ball at Delaware and Wake Forest before transferring to Kentucky as a fifth-year senior.

Aliou Diarra

Diarra went undrafted in 2023 and spent this past season playing for Virtus Bologna in Lega Basket Serie A. He is expected to be a backup for Yang Hansen at the center position as he stands 6-10.

Barry Dunning

Dunning spent four years at four different schools throughout his collegiate career, starting in Arkansas before heading to UAB in South Alabama and finishing at Pittsburgh. He averaged 12.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game for the Panthers this past season and is trying to catch on as an undrafted free agent with an opportunity from the Blazers.

Frankie Fidler

Fidler played three years at Omaha before transferring to Michigan State for his senior year. While he averaged 20.1 points and 6.3 rebounds at Omaha in his final season, he was merely a reserve for Tom Izzo's Spartans during his senior year, averaging 7 points per game. He played last season in Latvia but is hoping for more opportunities in the summer league.

Yang Hansen

Yang is the most prevalent player on the Blazers' Summer League roster, as the team's most recent draft pick. The Blazers should build their team around Yang and give him the most opportunity to showcase his skills and develop.

Steward only played in one collegiate season at Duke before going into the draft, where he was undrafted. Coming out of high school, he was a five-star prospect and a McDonald's All-American, but he flamed out during his collegiate career.

He has been working his way through the G League with the Stockton Kings, Maine Celtics, Windy City Bulls and Memphis Hustle before signing with Dolomiti Energia Trento in Italy for the 2025-26 season.

Chris Youngblood

Youngblood went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft but caught on with the Oklahoma City Thunder and played in 32 games for the team last season before being waived in February. He signed a two-way deal with the Blazers in March and appeared in two games for the team down the stretch of the season. Now he's hoping for a large role on the Summer League squad that could lead to another two-way deal.
