Ranking the Top 30 NBA Summer League Prospects to watch
The young players set to take over Las Vegas now (and perhaps the league at large later) have little more than potential to offer at this point, but potential is all that's needed to make this one of the most enjoyable events of the summer.

Top-5
No.1: Alex Sarr, Washington (No.2 in 2024)
Alex Sarr might have wound up No. 2 in the draft, but he snags the No. 1 spot here.
No.2: Ron Holland II, Detroit Pistons (No.5 in 2024)
It's possible the Pistons scored the night's biggest steal with the selection, too, as the athletic swingman was once regarded as the top prospect in the class.
No.3: Brandon Miller, Charlotte Hornets (No.2 in 2023)
Brandon Miller took bronze in this past season's Rookie of the Year voting. Hopefully, he has everyone asking,
'What the heck are you doing here?' early into his summer run.
No.4: Zaccharie Risacher, Atanta Hawks (No.1 in 2024)
Maybe the No. 4 ranking feels too low for this year's No. 1 pick, but Atlanta's selection of Zaccharie Risacher felt as much about fit and floor as it did his potential.
No.5: Rob Dillingham, Minnesota Timberwolves (No.8 in 2024)
The most interesting move of this year's draft—by a country mile—was Minnesota's aggressive trade to get Rob Dillingham.
