The 2025 NBA Summer League opening weekend highlighted several standout players worth attention across fantasy formats.
Cooper Flagg demonstrated NBA readiness, impressing with his composure and vision while handling point guard duties. His playmaking enhances his fantasy versatility, making him a likely top-5 round pick.
Alex Sarr excelled defensively, setting a Vegas Summer League record with 8 blocks in one game and shooting 48% from the field. While raw offensively, his rim protection and mobility suggest top-100 fantasy potential as a projected starter.
Keyonte George (Utah) met expectations, averaging 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists across three games. Though efficiency may vary, he projects as a cheap late-round source of assists.
Matas Buzelis displayed increased physicality, averaging 2.5 combined steals and blocks and attempting 20 free throws in two games. This development could significantly boost his scoring profile if it carries into the regular season.
Jaylen Wells stepped up for Memphis in Ja Morant's absence, averaging over 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3.0 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals. A starting role with 30+ minutes would make him draftable in deep leagues.
Kyle Filipowski dominated, averaging 29.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 3.3 three-pointers over three games, positioning him for All-Summer League honors and MVP contention with a style reminiscent of Lauri Markkanen.
Terrence Shannon Jr. unsurprisingly excelled, leveraging his playoff experience to average 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists in two appearances before likely concluding his summer league.
Rob Dillingham showcased improved playmaking, averaging 7.5 assists per game. Reducing turnovers could solidify his role as a key rotational piece behind Mike Conley in Minnesota.
Bilal Coulibaly's fantasy draft stock could rise significantly if the Wizards continue experimenting with him at point guard, making him a player to monitor closely during the offseason.
