LAS VEGAS (AP) — As NBA summer league winds down in Las Vegas, it’s time to look at some of the players who might have done better than most in showing their potential. Paolo Banchero was stellar for Orlando. Chet Holmgren was exceptional for Oklahoma City. That shouldn’t be a surprise, given that Banchero was the No. 1 pick and Holmgren the No. 2 pick in last month’s draft. But for some, these couple weeks in Vegas might have been a bit of a coming-out party. It was at least a reminder that there is no shortage of talented players still waiting for a real chance to make it in the NBA.
