  • CHI Shooting Guard #3
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Josh Giddey (forearm) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Wizards.
    Giddey has missed a game with his forearm injury recently but is fresh off a triple-double. Jevon Carter has a chance to return to relevance if Giddey is ruled out, as Chicago remains short on guards.
  • DAL Small Forward

    Cooper Flagg shot 5-of-21 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Thursday’s win over the Lakers, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one blocked shot.
    Flagg made his ballyhooed summer league debut on Thursday, and the Mavericks forward got off to a solid start. However, he would cool off considerably, shooting below 25 percent from the field. All was not lost in this performance, as Flagg was solid in other areas, most notably rebounding and setting up others. He did not commit his first and only turnover until the fourth quarter, which is not always the case for rookies who draw the defensive attention that Flagg did. With Ryan Nembhard running things, there were few opportunities to see “Point Cooper” on Thursday, but there will be other opportunities as the Mavericks prepare for the 2025-26 season.
    Projecting Suns' Win Total amid offseason changes
    Drew Dinsick doesn't "have a ton of confidence" in the Suns' ability to make the playoffs next season, explaining why their roster and offseason moves haven't set them up for success in a tough Western Conference.
  • ORL Small Forward
    Noah Penda finished Thursday’s loss to the Kings with eight points (4-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, four assists and two steals.
    Penda was solid in his summer opener, showing off the versatility on both ends of the floor that led some to believe he could be a first-round pick. The combo forward from France was on the board for Orlando as No. 32 overall, and given lead executive Jeff Weltman’s preference for athletic forwards with plus physical tools, it’s unsurprising that Penda wound up with the Magic. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero are the starting forwards, which limits Penda’s short-term upside, but he’ll be worth holding for the future in dynasty leagues.
  • ORL Shooting Guard
    Jase Richardson shot 5-of-8 from the field and 2-of-2 from the field in Thursday’s loss to the Kings, scoring 14 points with one rebound, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers.
    Orlando was arguably the worst perimeter-shooting team in the NBA last season, ranking dead last in three-pointers per game and three-point percentage. Selecting Richardson with the 25th overall pick in last month’s draft was one of the moves the front office made in hopes of addressing that issue next season. The former Michigan State guard shot the ball well in his summer debut, making over 50 percent of his attempts overall and shooting 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. Orlando acquiring Desmond Bane may limit Richardson’s fantasy upside as a rookie, but he’s a good enough shooter to crack the rotation if his defense is up to par.
  • ORL Small Forward #23
    Tristan da Silva accumulated 19 points (8-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Kings.
    With Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero missing extended periods last season due to injury, da Silva took on a larger role than many anticipated before the 2024-25 season. He was solid as a rookie, eventually doing enough to merit being streamed while the Magic awaited the return of their star forwards. Da Silva got his summer off to a good start on Thursday, shooting over 50 percent from the field and providing solid value in rebounds and assists. While unlikely to be a must-draft player in standard leagues, da Silva should again be a fixture in the Magic rotation after averaging 22.0 minutes per game as a rookie.
  • SAC Point Guard #22
    Devin Carter tallied eight points (2-of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one blocked shot in Thursday’s win over the Magic.
    Limited to 36 games as a rookie after undergoing shoulder surgery, Carter is healthy this offseason. That should aid the former first-round pick’s development as he looks to earn a consistent place in the Kings’ rotation. Carter struggled with his shot on Thursday, missing all four of his three-point attempts and shooting 20 percent from inside the arc. As a rookie, Carter recorded a 37.0/29.5/59.1 slash line, so the efficiency must improve if he’s to be a factor in Year 2 with the Kings.
  • Maxime Raynaud amassed 16 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Magic.
    Projected by many to be a first-round pick in last month’s draft, Raynaud’s name was not called until about halfway through the second round. However, that may have been a blessing in disguise, especially with the Kings trading Jonas Valančiūnas to the Nuggets. Significant minutes won’t be available at the center position because Domantas Sabonis is on the roster. However, Sacramento’s decision to trade Valančiūnas may increase Raynaud’s chances of cracking the rotation as a rookie. Especially if he plays as well as he did during the second half of Thursday’s victory.
  • SAC Shooting Guard
    Nique Clifford finished Thursday’s win over the Magic with 17 points (5-of-12 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer.
    The 24th overall pick in last month’s draft, Clifford got off to a slow start in his summer league debut on Thursday. After halftime, the former Colorado State standout was considerably more impactful and finished the win with a team-high 17 points. While Sacramento’s starting lineup appears set in stone, with Dennis Schröder coming on board to run the point, there’s a lack of true wings on the roster. That may improve Clifford’s chances of earning consistent rotation minutes as a rookie.
  • BKN Power Forward #26
    Drew Timme tallied 22 points (10-of-13 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder.
    While Timme was one of four Nets players whose options for the 2025-26 season were exercised in late June, his deal does not become fully guaranteed until January 10, 2026. Therefore, the former Gonzaga standout has much to play for in Las Vegas. Timme got his summer league experience off to an excellent start, recording a complete stat line against the Thunder. A good run in Las Vegas could open the door for Timme to compete for rotation minutes once training camp opens in the fall.
  • BKN Shooting Guard
    Ben Saraf accounted for three points (1-of-5 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound and two assists in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder.
    Of Brooklyn’s four 2025 first-round picks who were healthy enough to play on Thursday, only Saraf came off the bench. Given the nature of summer league play, nothing should be considered locked in for the team’s games moving forward. Saraf still played 18 minutes on Thursday, and he’ll have more opportunities to show what he can do. The production wasn’t there against Oklahoma City, but no one should read too much into that.
  • BKN Point Guard
    Nolan Traoré produced 13 points (3-of-5 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder.
    On Thursday, the 6-foot-4 Traoré was Brooklyn’s starting point guard, and he used his handle and quickness to apply pressure offensively. With fellow rookies Egor Demin and Ben Saraf capable of serving as on-ball playmakers as well, that competition will be something to watch throughout summer league and the preseason. Traoré finished Thursday’s opener with as many turnovers as assists, but he shot the ball reasonably well. That was an area of concern for the French point guard; showing consistency as a shooter will raise his ceiling considerably.
