Chicago Bulls guard/forward Dailyn Swain finished Monday's 80-63 Summer League loss to the Utah Jazz with four points, nine rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes, going 0-for-9 from the field, 0-for-2 from deep and 2-for-3 at the line. The No. 15 pick has opened Vegas at 3-for-19 across two games, so the offensive adjustment is real. Swain led Texas in points, rebounds, assists, and steals last season, which keeps the long-term fantasy appeal tied to versatility rather than scoring alone. For now, the rebounding is the cleanest early category while the shot profile catches up.

Chicago Bulls forward Caleb Wilson finished Monday's 80-63 Summer League loss to the Utah Jazz with 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, five blocks and three three-pointers in 29 minutes. The No. 4 overall pick shot 8-for-17 from the field and 3-for-8 from deep, but the 0-for-6 mark at the line was the clear blemish. After opening Las Vegas with 35 points, Wilson still showed enough defensive range and shooting confidence to keep building fantasy buzz. His free-throw line was ugly, but the mix of rim protection and stretch potential is exactly what can separate him from the typical rookie forward in fantasy.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Meleek Thomas dropped 35 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and five three-pointers in Monday's 90-73 Summer League win over the Miami Heat. Thomas shot 14-for-23 from the field, 5-for-9 from deep, and 1-for-1 at the line. The No. 34 pick has now scored 20, 30, and 35 points in his first three Las Vegas games, giving Cleveland a real shot-creation bright spot. Thomas is unlikely to have a clean rookie-year fantasy path without rotation minutes, but the scoring burst, threes, and steals make him a name to track beyond Summer League.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cameron Boozer finished Monday's 96-88 Summer League loss to the Dallas Mavericks with 21 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two three-pointers in 29 minutes. The No. 3 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft shot 7-for-17 from the field, 2-for-8 from deep, and 3-for-5 at the line, leading Memphis in scoring for the second straight Las Vegas game. The efficiency dipped after Friday's 23-point showing, but the steals, passing, and willingness to shoot from deep are more important for fantasy purposes. Boozer's rookie-year ceiling will depend on how quickly Memphis trusts him with regular-season usage, but the early Summer League profile looks category-friendly.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward accumulated 17 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two three-pointers in Monday's 96-88 Summer League loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The 2025 No. 11 overall pick needed 23 shots to get there, including a 2-for-9 mark from deep, but the rebounding and secondary playmaking helped save the line. Coward averaged 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists as a rookie, so his fantasy case is not new. The concern is efficiency, though his minutes, boards, and defensive stats give him a useful path if Memphis keeps leaning on him.

Dallas Mavericks guard Sergio de Larrea accounted for 16 points, one rebound, 12 assists, one block, and two three-pointers in Monday's 96-88 Summer League win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The No. 25 pick bounced back efficiently, shooting 3-for-7 from the field after struggling to a 3-for-14 line in Thursday's loss to Golden State. His scoring consistency remains a developmental project, but the 20-year-old's positional size and elite court vision popped throughout his 30 minutes of action. De Larrea is not set up for an immediate rookie-year fantasy impact while buried on the depth chart behind Kyrie Irving and Marcus Sasser. However, his advanced playmaking profile gives him a cleaner long-term path to rotation minutes than a standard one-dimensional prospect.

According to Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson has emerged as a player of strong interest to the Miami Heat, regardless of whether LeBron James joins Miami. The hang-up is cost, with Thompson owed $17.5 million in the final year of his deal and Marc Stein reporting that Dallas prefers to explore trades before a buyout. Thompson averaged 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists while shooting 38.3% on 7.6 three-point attempts across 69 games last season. A Heat move would help his role security more than his fantasy ceiling, since he is now mostly a three-point specialist who rarely supplies enough rebounds, assists, or defensive stats to cover cold shooting stretches.

Atlanta Hawks center Henri Veesaar finished with 20 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and four three-pointers in 23 minutes during Monday's 102-90 Summer League win over Boston. The No. 52 overall pick shot 7-for-12 from the field and 4-for-6 from deep, showing the stretch-five skill set that made him a second-round target for Atlanta. Veesaar averaged 17.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.2 blocks at North Carolina while shooting 42.6% from three. The shooting gives him a fantasy hook, but he still needs to turn Summer League flashes into a real frontcourt role.

Toronto Raptors forward Allen Graves tallied 13 points, five rebounds, six assists, four steals, and three three-pointers in Monday's 94-93 Summer League win over the Pacers. The No. 19 overall pick also posted 22 points, 13 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in his Vegas debut, so the early pattern is more about activity than pure scoring. Graves averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.9 steals at Santa Clara while shooting 41.3% from deep, giving him a useful fantasy profile if he can earn minutes as a low-usage wing who rebounds, spaces, and creates stocks.

Detroit Pistons guard Ebuka Okorie struggled to 14 points on 5-for-18 shooting in Monday's 86-75 Summer League loss to the Knicks, chipping in six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block over 32 minutes. He went 0-for-5 from three and matched his four assists with four turnovers. The Stanford product flashed real defensive playmaking earlier in Vegas with nine steals over his first two games, but his jumper has lagged, sitting at 28.5 percent from the field this summer. Taken 17th in June's draft, Okorie profiles as a future rotation piece, but his shooting will decide how soon he earns minutes behind Cade Cunningham.

Denver Nuggets forward Trevon Brazile signed a four-year, $9.3 million deal that includes the first two seasons fully guaranteed, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Brazile was selected No. 35 overall by San Antonio before his rights were traded to Denver, giving the Nuggets a low-cost frontcourt athlete with some defensive-stat appeal. He led Arkansas in rebounding and blocks last season while becoming the program's first player with 40-plus threes, blocks, and steals in the same year. His fantasy path is still narrow as a second-round rookie, especially while he works through a right shoulder strain, but the boards, blocks, and steals give him a cleaner hook than most developmental forwards.

Miami has emerged as the team to watch for free-agent guard Russell Westbrook, the New York Post's Stefan Bondy reports. Westbrook remains unsigned deep into the offseason, and the former MVP is generating interest as contenders round out their guard rotations. He stayed productive with Sacramento last season, averaging 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in 29.0 minutes, though his 33.8 percent clip from three continues to cloud his fit on a spacing-dependent roster. Should he land in Miami, Westbrook would be a bench ball-handler in a Giannis Antetokounmpo-led rotation, a complementary role that would trim his usage and cap his fantasy ceiling well below his Kings workload.

San Antonio Spurs guard Jordan McLaughlin has agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million deal to return to the team, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The 30-year-old appeared in 44 games for San Antonio last season, averaging 2.0 points, 0.9 assists, and 0.7 rebounds in 6.4 minutes while shooting 42.5% from three-point range. McLaughlin gives the Spurs veteran point-guard insurance, but his fantasy value is thin behind De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper. He would likely need multiple injuries ahead of him to see meaningful usage.

Free-agent forward Ziaire Williams has agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The 24-year-old spent last season with Brooklyn, averaging 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in 22.9 minutes while shooting 42.5% from the field and 34.3% from three-point range. Williams gives Los Angeles another long wing, but his fantasy case is thin unless the shooting improvement sticks and he earns enough bench minutes to keep the steals coming.

Washington Wizards forward AJ Dybantsa racked up 23 points, seven rebounds, three steals, two blocks, and two assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 104-85 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Sacramento Kings. The No. 1 pick knocked down his first Summer League three after an 0-for-5 debut from deep, though the jumper still cooled as the game went on. Second-year wing Will Riley carried the scoring load with a game-high 32 points as Washington improved to 2-0. That is the encouraging part for fantasy managers: Dybantsa is already piling up steals and blocks, giving him a strong statistical base before the jumper fully settles. On a rebuilding Wizards team, the usage should be there early.

Utah Jazz guard Darryn Peterson recorded 23 points on 6-for-18 shooting, 1-for-3 from three, and 6-for-8 at the line, adding five assists, two rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Clippers. The No. 2 pick keeps forcing the issue, and the jumper hasn't cooperated in Vegas (12-for-36 over two outings). The playmaking and defensive activity travel, though: Peterson ran up a 12-assist game earlier this summer and filled the sheet again here. He projects as a genuine fantasy contributor as soon as his rookie season, even if usage gets crowded next to Ace Bailey and Cody Williams. Once the shot falls, the scoring, passing, and steal production give him real fantasy value.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Baba Miller registered 15 points, five rebounds, and two assists across 26 minutes in Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Utah Jazz. The No. 36 pick shot 5-for-7 from the field, 2-for-3 from three-point range, and 2-for-2 at the line, giving Los Angeles another clean frontcourt line after he posted 12 points, five boards, and three blocks against Sacramento. Miller's size, touch, and passing remain worth tracking, but he still needs to turn these Summer League flashes into a steady Clippers role.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Nate Ament posted seven points on 3-for-7 shooting, 1-for-2 from three, five rebounds, and three turnovers in 25 minutes during Sunday's 90-80 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Spurs. The No. 13 pick started but couldn't find offensive rhythm, cooling off after a cleaner debut Friday against the Heat. Ament landed in Milwaukee through the deal that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami, so the retooling Bucks can afford to bring him along slowly. He averaged 16.7 points at Tennessee and flashes real scoring upside, but he's a long-term stash, not a factor in fantasy lineups this season. Brayden Burries paced Milwaukee with 26 points.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Keaton Wagler contributed 23 points, four assists, one rebound, and one steal across 28 minutes in Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Utah Jazz. The No. 5 overall pick bounced back from a quiet debut, shooting 6-for-16 from the field, 4-for-7 from three-point range, and 3-for-4 at the line. Los Angeles took control by outscoring Utah 42-18 in the third quarter, giving Wagler a much cleaner second-half runway. The shooting response was encouraging, but he still needs more efficient shot creation to strengthen his early fantasy case.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Brayden Burries provided 26 points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks across 30 minutes in Sunday's 90-80 Summer League loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The No. 10 pick shot 9-for-16 from the field and 4-for-5 from three-point range, easily his best scoring performance of the summer. Burries has now scored 12, 18, and 26 points in his first three Summer League outings. The defensive stats made this line even more useful, but his early fantasy value still depends on earning a real role in Milwaukee's guard rotation.
