Coming into the NBA Summer League, Dallas Mavericks point guard Ryan Nembhard had all the hype in the world, as fans expected him to put on a show after hearing how well he fit next to Cooper Flagg in the week of practice leading up to the draft. Mavericks fans fell in love with his game after Dallas signed him following the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft, and it couldn't be more obvious that Nembhard should have been at least a second-round pick.
After over a week of Summer League action, it's clear that Nembhard was even better than what the Mavs expected, and him getting shut down after just three games proved that.
