After 16 days of games played in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Sacramento and San Francisco, NBA Summer League competition has concluded. All 30 teams played at least five games, with the Miami Heat edging the Memphis Grizzlies on the campus of UNLV to come away with the summer-league championship.

For this year’s rookie class, summer league was the first opportunity to get on the floor in their new team colors. Training camps will be underway in a little more than two months. Until then, here’s an assessment of how every draft pick looked in their first set of games, from the role they played to what might be next in the fall.

First Round

1. Zaccharie Risacher, Hawks: He started two games at shooting guard before sitting out due to a right quad contusion. He took most of his attempts from the behind 3-point line, but the 6-foot-9 Risacher will likely start at small forward with Trae Young dominating the ball.

2. Alex Sarr, Wizards: Sarr started at center for four games and will likely back up Jonas Valančiūnas when the season begins. The 7-footer showed skill as a passer and shot blocker, but shooting 19.1 percent from the floor illustrated how far away he is as a scorer.

3. Reed Sheppard, Rockets: Sheppard started at point guard for four games and is expected to be a backup option to Fred VanVleet. Sheppard made All-Summer League First Team by scoring 20 points per game on 50 percent shooting. He only hit 27.8 percent of his 3s, with 4.8 turnovers per game, but he made plays defensively while playing a heavy on-ball role offensively.

4. Stephon Castle, Spurs: Castle started three games at shooting guard before a right wrist sprain. There clearly was an emphasis on him playing with the ball in his hands, so it makes sense for him to expect a second-unit role behind Chris Paul, Devin Vassell and Harrison Barnes.

5. Ron Holland, Pistons: A starter at small forward in Vegas, Holland should expect to compete with Ausar Thompson at that position in Detroit. Holland is a menace in transition, but his shooting is going to be a work in progress.

6. Tidjane Salaun, Hornets: A starter at power forward in Vegas, he’s behind multiple veterans for that role in Charlotte. Salaun plays hard but is not much of an on-ball presence or shooter right now.

7. Donovan Clingan, Trail Blazers: Clingan started at center, where he will be behind Deandre Ayton in Portland. He looked great on the glass and defensively, but he only shot 35.7 percent from the floor, struggling in particular to finish pick-and-rolls. He made the All-Summer League Second Team.

8. Rob Dillingham, Timberwolves: Dillingham started at point guard for five games and seems poised to back up Mike Conley Jr. He ended on high note with 25 points and 12 assists against the Orlando Magic. Dillingham had a rough time finishing in transition but averaged 7.6 assists per game.

9. Zach Edey, Grizzlies: The 7-4, two-time college player of the year started at center but suffered multiple ankle sprains. Edey rarely got post-up opportunities but looked like a player who could start anyway.

10. Cody Williams, Jazz: The brother of Oklahoma City’s Jalen Williams was the starting small forward for most of the month. He seemed to be comfortable in a variety of roles and got more productive when he wasn’t on the floor with Keyonte George.

11. Matas Buzelis, Bulls: Buzelis is very active defensively and started most of the month at power forward, where he will likely be behind Patrick Williams. Like his G League Ignite teammate Holland, Buzelis is a threatening dunker who is a mess offensively besides that (1:3 assist-turnover ratio, 33.7 percent overall, 21.4 percent 3s).

12. Nikola Topić, Thunder: Topić is recovering from a pre-draft ACL injury and did not play this summer.

13. Devin Carter, Kings: Carter is recovering from left shoulder surgery and did not play this summer.

14. Bub Carrington, Wizards: Carrington was the starting point guard for Washington, though he is likely a backup to Malcolm Brogdon in Washington. He made the All-Summer League Second Team after a productive month with the ball in his hands.

15. Kel’el Ware, Heat: Another second-team selection, Ware started at center and was the only non-lottery pick to make one of the All-Summer League teams. He showed a decent post game while being actively defensively and dunking more than three times a night.

16. Jared McCain, 76ers: McCain was the starting shooting guard most of the month. He showed range while running a high number of ball screens but shot under 30 percent from both the field and from 3.

17. Dalton Knecht, Lakers: Knecht regularly started at small forward. He struggled to score on his own while being on the ball most of the time, but he was much more effective off the ball, which is the role he should expect more of with Los Angeles.

18. Tristan Da Silva, Magic: Da Silva started at power forward, where he will be behind Paolo Banchero and Jonathan Isaac in Orlando. He showed comfort both on and off the ball, and most critically for the Magic, he showed he can shoot.

19. Ja’Kobe Walter, Raptors: Walter started mostly at shooting guard but only made 20.7 percent of 3s and had more turnovers (eight) than assists (five).

20. Jaylon Tyson, Cavaliers: Tyson started mostly at shooting guard, where he pulled off a 50/40/90 line (58.8 percent overall, 40 percent 3s, 91.7 percent free throws) while showing he can play with the ball in his hands.

21. Yves Missi, Pelicans: Missi started at center, a position at which New Orleans will be completely different from last season after Valančiūnas’ departure and the trade of Larry Nance Jr. Missi showed a strong vertical presence before and after shots, converting on a number of putback dunks, but he’s not a post option at all right now.

22. DaRon Holmes II, Nuggets: Holmes started at center and made three 3s in his lone appearance. He tore his right Achilles tendon in that game and will likely redshirt his rookie season.

23. AJ Johnson, Bucks: Johnson was force-fed pick-and-roll reps while starting mostly at point guard. He missed 21 of 31 shots inside the arc and 21 of 31 shots outside the arc. His development will continue with the Wisconsin Herd.

24. Kyshawn George, Wizards: The 6-7 George started games up and down the lineup, settling mostly at small forward. He got some chances to play out of ball screens but was much more effective off the ball.

25. Pacome Dadiet, Knicks: Dadiet started games at both forward spots. He’s much more comfortable as a cutter than anything else right now and missed 17 of 19 3-point attempts.

26. Dillon Jones, Thunder: Jones mostly started at small forward and had a heavy on-ball role, comfortably playing out of ball screens. His shooting is a work in progress, as he made only 29.2 percent from 3.

27. Terrence Shannon Jr., Timberwolves: Shannon started mostly at small forward until a toe injury early in his fourth game ended his stint. He did a great job using his frame to score at the rim but was rarely called on to create his own looks and wasn’t nearly as comfortable shooting outside the paint.

28. Ryan Dunn, Suns: Dunn started four games at small forward and came as advertised: He’s a defensive playmaker (11 combined steals and blocks) with little offensive utility (missed his lone free-throw attempt, made only one 3 and was almost completely off the ball).

29. Isaiah Collier, Jazz: Collier started games at point guard when Keyonte George didn’t play and had a heavy on-ball role. He scored five and-1s but made only 4 of 20 3s.

30. Baylor Scheierman, Celtics: Scheierman started mostly at shooting guard, where he has an outside chance of being in Boston’s second unit. He ran a decent amount of pick-and-rolls, but he’s a shooter more than a scorer — he had almost three times as many 3-point attempts as 2-point attempts.

Second Round

31. Jonathan Mogbo, Raptors: Mogbo’s summer stint was shortened after suffering a back contusion in the second game. The power forward is under contract.

32. Kyle Filipowski, Jazz: Filipowski is the highest drafted player not under contract yet. He showed an ability to handle the ball at center and finished with a 26-point, 11-rebound game, though it came when Utah was without Williams and Collier. Filipowski only made 26.7 percent from 3.

33. Tyler Smith, Bucks: Smith is under contract as a likely backup big. He never created shots for himself in Vegas and only attempted one free throw in five games.

34. Tyler Kolek, Knicks: Under contract as a likely backup point guard, Kolek compiled a fantastic 5:1 assist-turnover ratio, but he’s not there yet as a scorer (35.6 percent shooting).

35. Johnny Furphy, Pacers: Under contract as a likely backup small forward, Furphy was kept almost entirely off the ball and still struggled to score (37 percent shooting).

36. Juan Nuñez, Spurs: Nuñez is expected to be stashed overseas and missed summer league to be with Spain’s national team ahead of the Olympics.

37. Bobi Klintman, Pistons: Klintman started at power forward in all five games and is under contract. He was mostly used to space the floor and made 41.9 percent of his 3s.

38. Ajay Mitchell, Thunder: Mitchell is the highest draft pick signed to a two-way contract. He started all five games next to Adam Flagler, but Mitchell took on a heavy on-ball role compared to Flagler while compiling a 50/40/90 line (53.3 percent shooting, 40 percent 3s, 92.3 percent free throws).

39. Jaylen Wells, Grizzlies: Wells is signed to the roster as a backup shooting guard. He had some utility on the ball but will settle in as an off-ball threat. He shot 36.6 percent from 3.

40. Oso Ighodaro, Suns: Ighodaro is under contract and likely will be the third center in Phoenix. He led the Suns with 21 assists in five games, a credit to his passing ability but also a demerit of the Suns’ guard play.

41. Adem Bona, 76ers: Under contract as the likely third center in Philly, he tried to dunk everything and blocked 21 shots in eight games. Bona won’t be asked to create for himself or others.

42. KJ Simpson, Hornets: Simpson was signed to a two-way contract, but he missed summer league due to a hamstring injury suffered before the draft.

43. Nikola Ðjurišić, Hawks: Ðjurišić ran point guard next to Risacher but suffered a left foot fracture in his second game and remains unsigned.

44. Pelle Larsson, Heat: Larsson started on the wing and is under contract. He showed solid chemistry with Ware in pick-and-rolls, took on tough defensive assignments, fit in well next to other ballhandlers and called game in the championship against the Grizzlies.

45. Jamal Shead, Raptors: Shead is under contract with Toronto and served as starting point guard for all five games. He took care of the basketball and came as advertised defensively, though he was quiet on offense overall.

46. Cam Christie, Clippers: The brother of Lakers guard Max Christie is under contract with the Clippers and started all five games at shooting guard. He’s not ready for on-ball responsibility yet and can’t score inside the arc, but 37 of his 51 attempts were 3s, and he hit 40.5 percent from deep.

47. Antonio Reeves, Pelicans: Reeves signed a contract after being used in a variety of roles in five games. He alternated between being on and off the ball and should settle in at shooting guard. He was very good in transition but struggled to score or make plays in half-court settings.

48. Harrison Ingram, Spurs: Ingram started mostly at power forward next to Sidy Cissoko. He wasn’t good on the ball in scant opportunities but made 40.6 percent from 3. He’s still unsigned, but the Spurs have two-way spots open.

49. Tristen Newton, Pacers: Once Ben Sheppard went down, the still-unsigned Newton started at point guard. He got to the free-throw line at a high rate and defended well but had a whale of a time putting the ball in the hoop (20 percent overall, 18.2 percent 3s).

50. Enrique Freeman, Pacers: Freeman, a power forward, moved into the starting lineup along with Newton. Like Newton, he also is unsigned and was kept out of the action for the most part.

51. Melvin Ajinça, Mavericks: Ajinça mostly started at small forward next to Olivier-Maxence Prosper. He will be stashed in France after a quiet summer that saw him struggle to score (29.5 percent shooting) in a mostly off-ball role.

52. Quinten Post, Warriors: Post joined the Warriors for the final two summer games, starting the semifinals loss to the Heat at center. He has a ways to go defensively but immediately showed the ability to shoot 3s, post up and pass. The Athletic’s Anthony Slater has reported that Post is expected to be on a two-way contract.

53. Cam Spencer, Grizzlies: Spencer is signed to a two-way contract behind Wells, and like Edey, he had summer league cut short due to an ankle sprain. Spencer was off the ball even more than Wells but made excellent decisions (14:4 assist-turnover ratio in four games) while making 52.6 percent from 3 and 57.9 percent overall.

54. Anton Watson, Celtics: Watson moved into starting lineup at power forward once Boston was satisfied with what it saw from center Neemias Queta. Watson doesn’t have a contract but showed the ability to play inside and out in an off-ball-big role.

55. Bronny James, Lakers: James is the lowest 2024 draft pick signed to a 15-man roster. He started at shooting guard and stayed off the ball for the most part outside of the occasional pick-and-roll. He had a 9:11 assist-turnover ratio while struggling to score (32.7 percent shooting, only eight free-throw attempts) and shoot (missed 20 of 23 3s). He was much better and more active defensively.

56. Kevin McCullar Jr., Knicks: McCullar did not play this summer due to a left knee bone bruise and is still unsigned.

57. Ulrich Chomche, Raptors: Chomche came off the bench until the finale, where he started at center next to Branden Carlson. Both Chomche and Carlson are on two-way contracts, but Chomche is a true project who was not asked to do much besides run, crash and be a vertical threat on the roll. He did make a 3-pointer, though.

58. Ariel Hukporti, Knicks: Hukporti signed to a two-way contract then started all five games at center. The Knicks rarely posted him and never asked him to make plays or shoot outside the paint. He’s content with dunking as much as possible.
