The NBA Summer League allows us to see all the new talent drafted into the NBA. We saw the first five picks (Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, Jabari Smith, Keegan Murray, and Jaden Ivey) in action. This was one of the most exciting Summer League off-season’s in a while, and many of the NBA Stars came out to witness it. The NBA’s in good hands for the present and the future as the talent was on display.

A lot of the marque rookies that everyone wanted to see did play but in limited games. The players that put on a show at the Summer League this summer were Cam Thomas, Quentin Grimes, and Keegan Murray. They were the Top 3 scorers during Summer League and put on a show. Cam Thomas averaged 27.4 PPG for the Brooklyn Nets and showcased a lot of growth/maturity in his game. Quentin Grimes was averaging 23.5 PPG for the New York Knicks squad and was able to show all the Knicks fans what they had been waiting to see from the sophomore. Keegan Murray came to the Summer League to let it be known he’s a walking bucket averaging 23.3 PPG.

There was a lot of heat on the court during the NBA 2K23 Summer League. A lot of the players either have a sneaker deal or haven’t signed on the dotted line yet. Nike Basketball was well represented on the court and there was no lack of Kobes out there too. This SneakerReporter Top 10 list isn’t about PEs but it’s about the quality of heat that we saw out there from players grinding to make a name for themselves.
