Last year Owen Phillips did a great statistical breakdown of performance in Summer League games vs. the actual outcome of a Rookie's season.

Source is here: https://thef5.substack.com/p/summer-league-stats-you-can-trust

the TLDR is basically stats near the top are more likely to match the players future projections in their rookie season than stats at the bottom.

This is a positive and a negative, as Owen describes:

>if a player shows a willingness to pass the ball at summer league then they’ll likely carry over that same willingness into their rookie season.

in regards to assists as an example, but then negatively:

>if a player is bombing threes in summer league then chances are they’ll do the same at the NBA level.

The main ones that stand out as bad indicators of a players future are obviously the shooting splits, very rarely does a players 2pt and 3pt percentage ever match their rookie season stats. So as we watch today pay more attention to the sticky stats than the scoring is basically what this post is pointing at

Cost $60.35 to sit in the upper deck. And at the time we thought that was price gouging 😬

Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.

Lakers free agent forward Rui Hachimura also remains unsigned as the league proceeds to a third full day of free agency.

The markets for Kuminga and Hachimura, in truth, seem to be overlapping somewhat at this juncture.

Sources say Hachimura was very much in play for San Antonio before Tobias Harris rejected an offer to return to the Detroit Pistons. Harris and the Spurs swiftly agreed to a two-year, $31 million deal after San Antonio and Brooklyn were most frequently mentioned as likely Hachimura suitors before free agency officially began Tuesday at 6 PM ET. (The Nets, for the record, should still have an estimated $13-to-$23 million in available salary cap space defending on the final form of the trade they complete next week to acquire Julius Randle from Minnesota.)

As the market has developed, sources say Hachimura's representation has now been in contact with Minnesota and Golden State as well. The Timberwolves have a well-chronicled need for a power forward after committing to trade away Randle and Naz Reid so they can pair LaMelo Ball with Anthony Edwards and Hachimura is said to stand as their current top choice at the position.
