The Las Vegas NBA Summer League starts on Friday and I can't wait to see many of the top draft picks of the 2023 class play meaningful minutes in their first taste of the league. While most eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, who already has plenty of hype, I'll be paying close attention to these second and third-year players.
can easily manufacture his own shot and uses his length well in the post. His offensive skillset and ability to rebound and block shots at a high rate make him an exciting mid-round pick in fantasy this season. He's a player I'll be watching closely in Summer League, but if Salt Lake City is any indication, he'll be one of the best players in attendance.
Eason is a hustle-and-energy player who needs to improve his shot creation and ball handling. If he can make strides in those areas with a sprinkle of more playmaking, the path to minutes is there — especially withtoo, because there are roughly 25+ bench minutes between small and power forward available in the Rockets rotation.
Beyond defense and leadership, Mathurin's fantasy value took a hit in his rookie season due to his field goal percentage , poor assist-to-turnover ratio and lack of stats outside of scoring and a little rebounding . He finished 241st in per-game value, so he'll have to make substantial improvements across the board to be a true fantasy asset this season. It can happen though, and a strong showing in Vegas could alleviate those other areas of concern from a fantasy perspective.
