Vegas Summer League Day 5: Nick Smith Jr. Heats up Late

We're at the point of Summer League where some players aren't playing. Whether it's because of injury (Scoot Henderson, Amen Thompson) or because players proved that they don't need to be playing anymore (Jalen Williams, Jabari Smith Jr.), we're missing out on some star talent. That gives other guys the chance to shine, as we saw on Tuesday. Whether these performances will translate to the regular season remains to be seen, but it's always fun seeing guys step up and give themselves a chance to play in the NBA.

Nets 92, Bucks 71

Brooklyn made three picks in the draft, though we haven’t been able to see Dariq Whitehead suit up.
