NBA Summer League has wrapped up its 2019 season with the Memphis Grizzlies winning it all by edging out the Minnesota Timberwolves. Brandon Clarke, who the Grizzlies picked #21 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, was named MVP making him one of the clearest winners from the 2019 NBA Summer League. Other players who made the most of their opportunity were those like the Miami Heat’s first-round pick Tyler Herro out of the University of Kentucky. Herro has proven his doubters wrong after showing his all-around game is better than anticipated during the NBA Draft. NBA Now hosts Tom Downey and Jimmy Crowther break down these players and others like Carsen Edwards, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Chris Boucher, Lonnie Walker and Bruce Brown as the winners of the NBA Summer League.
