Las Vegas summer league gave the 2026 draft class a first extended look at how its top picks would fare against professional competition. Cameron Boozer, Caleb Wilson, and Darryn Peterson all had moments, while the Grizzlies, Bulls, and Jazz combined for a 6‑9 record.

Boozer earned MVP honors, averaging 18.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists over six games and leading Memphis to a 4‑2 record and the championship game. His smooth adjustment, interior scoring, and intelligent play made him stand out.

Wilson was voted Most Electric Rookie, pouring 23.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game. His leaping ability and high‑energy style wowed fans, though turnovers and a need for more strength were noted.

Peterson was named Most Intriguing Rookie, posting 20.7 points and 4.0 assists, yet struggled with turnovers and consistency, leaving his future potential still open for debate.
