A breakdown of five rookies who’ve made a great start to the Las Vegas Summer League and have increased their stock around the association. Who has impressed you the most? Let me know in the comments section.
C.J. McCollum | PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
C.J. McCollum continues to impress, playing with all the poise and control of a four-year graduate. In Wednesday's win, the guard out of Lehigh had 19 points on 5-for-14 shooting, going 3-for-7 from beyond the arc. Through four games, he leads all rookies in scoring at 20.7 per game.
Cody Zeller | CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
Zeller has put up big numbers, on the back of a variety of baseline and top-of-the-key jumpers. The fourth pick finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds for his second straight double-double. Through three games, he's averaging 16.0 points and 9.3 rebounds.
Reggie Bullock | LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
The sharp-shooting rookie poured in 20 points against the Mavs on Wednesday – the late first-round pick shot 8-for-15 from the floor (1-for-4 on 3s). Bullock's stroke is strong and repeatable.
Jack Cooley | MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
The undrafted big man has averaged 15.3 points and 9.5 rebounds while shooting 52 per cent from the floor, over his stint in both the Orlando & Vegas Summer League. His tough play and high motor is sure to have caught the eye of a few NBA executives.
Deshaun Thomas | SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Thomas has been solid in each of his three games. The late second-round pick out of Ohio State is averaging 17 points on 54 per cent shooting and is 6-for-12 from behind the arc.
