Danny Wolf

BKN Power Forward

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Danny Wolf had 18 points (6-of-12 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one block, and two three-pointers in the Nets’ 94-90 victory over the Magic on Wednesday.

Wolf’s ceiling was on display Wednesday against the Magic. The 21-year-old power forward spaced the floor with two three-pointers and had a role as a playmaker with four assists. Wolf also pulled down six rebounds in 27 minutes. As one of the Nets’ four 2025 first-round picks, he will have plenty of opportunities for playing time this season.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Shooting Guard

Tyrese Proctor had 35 points (11-of-24 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and four three-pointers in the 94-86 loss to the Kings on Wednesday.

Proctor was 4-of-14 from behind the three-point line, but a perfect 9-of-9 on free throws. The 21-year-old shooting guard dropped a game-high 35 points after debuting in Summer League last week. After a productive three-year career at Duke, Proctor will be in the mix for a bench role with the Cavaliers next season.
Josh Hart

NYK Shooting Guard #3

Josh Hart had finger surgery and will resume basketball activities later this summer.

Hart underwent a procedure to his right ring finger due to an injury sustained in the playoffs. The 30-year-old shooting guard is expected to resume basketball activities later this summer and be ready for the regular season. It appears that Hart has avoided a significant injury here.
Chris Livingston

MIL Small Forward #7

Bucks re-signed Chris Livingston to a one-year, $2.3 million deal.

Milwaukee waived Livingston early this month, and now they’ll bring him back on a fully-guaranteed deal. The 2023 second-round pick hasn’t carved out a role with Milwaukee through his first two seasons, but he has been producing at a high level during summer league.
Dylan Harper

SAS Shooting Guard

ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reports Dylan Harper is being shut down for the remainder of summer league.

Harper only appeared in two games after dealing with a groin injury, and he played a total of 42 minutes across his appearances. He clearly didn’t need to be out there, and the Spurs decided it wasn’t worth risking further injury. David Jones-Garcia should return to the starting lineup as he continued to make a case of Summer League MVP.
Bradley Beal

LAC Shooting Guard #3

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Bradley Beal has agreed to a contract buyout with the Suns and intends to sign a two-year, $11 million contract with the Clippers.

Beal will have a player option for the second season of his deal with the Clippers, so if he has a bounce-back year, he could certainly decline the option and sign a larger deal next summer, which makes this a great scenario for him. Beal should start at shooting guard, likely alongside James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, John Collins and Ivica Zubac, making this one of the best lineups in the league in 2021. How well will it work next season? That’s on coach Tyronn Lue to figure out. This is certainly a fun collection of talent. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kris Dunn will likely lose out on minutes with Beal in the mix.
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

The Athletic’s Joe Vardon and Dan Woike report LeBron James hasn’t had any buyout or trade discussions with the Lakers.

The expectation is that LeBron will be with the Lakers for training camp. If you follow every single rumor that happens during the NBA offseason and read between the lines, you can see that LeBron has been pulling some stunts to create some drama. But if you look at the bigger picture, there isn’t really a move that makes sense for both the Lakers and another team that LeBron will also agree to, since he has a no-trade clause. The reality is that LeBron will be a Laker next year in what could be his final NBA season.
Yang Hansen

POR Center

Yang Hansen finished with 15 points (6-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

The surprise pick in the first-round has provided plenty of optimism with his performance in Las Vegas. He is averaging 11.7 points, four rebounds, 3.3 assists and two blocks per game. Those numbers don’t pop, but he clearly has excellent feel for the game, and he also knocked down a trio of triples on Tuesday. The future appears to be bright for Yang, though it’s unclear how the rotation will shake out during his rookie season.
Rayan Rupert

POR Shooting Guard #21

Rayan Rupert led the Trail Blazers with 24 points (9-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and four three-pointers in a 93-87 win over the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Rupert was fantastic on Friday and followed that up with a dud on Saturday. However, he got back on track on Tuesday after a few days off. The 2023 second-round pick has been playing as well as you’d expect someone entering their third season to play, which is encouraging. He’s a talented player, but the path to minutes in Portland is murky.
Derik Queen

NOP Power Forward

Derik Queen recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 17 points (5-of-11 FGs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and eight turnovers in a 93-87 loss to the Trail Blazers.

As has been the case all summer, there was both good and bad from Queen. He recorded his third straight double-double, but he now has 17 turnovers to just seven assists in three games. Queen has a lot for fantasy managers to like, but he hasn’t taken care of the ball well this summer. The upside is there, but he has a long way to go before he’s going to be a player to consider drafting.
