Moreover, 23-year-old center Jericho Sims has been excellent on the glass. He has grabbed double-digit rebounds in all three games so far and also combined for five blocks.
Key Player - Quentin Grimes
Quentin Grimes has been putting on a show this summer and has almost certainly earned himself a roster spot. He has dropped 24 points in all three games and has done so with great efficiency as well.
Grimes is knocking down shots from beyond the arc and also showing off his playmaking skills. He has combined for 18 assists in three games so far.
Notable Vegas storyline—Quentin Grimes' breakout. Averaging 24 PTs, 4.3 ASTs, 1.7 STLs through 3 games. Looks a level above everyone else. Value obviously tied to shotmaking but he's delivered lot more 2PT play finishing + setting up teammates. Feels like Knicks next starting SG. https://t.co/fG5FEoGu1o

Orlando Magic Preview
The Orlando Magic have had one of the best summer leagues in the NBA, as they witnessed their 1st overall draft pick Paolo Banchero put on a show.
He dropped 17 points, two threes, six assists and four rebounds in the summer league opener against the Houston Rockets. He then followed that up with 23 points, six assists, six rebounds and four steals in the overtime win against the Sacramento Kings.
Paolo Banchero scored or assisted in 14 of the Magic’s first 17 points.
He’s a perfect 3-3 FG and 2-2 3P to start. https://t.co/ixyFSrS5pj
Banchero has been shut down by the Magic for the rest of the games in Vegas and joins former lottery pick Jalen Suggs on the sidelines. Other veteran players, such as RJ Hampton and Daniel Oturu, are also reportedly out of the roster.
Key Player - Emanuel Terry
Emanuel Terry, 25, went undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft. He had stints in various teams over the years and is now looking for a roster spot in the rebuilding Magic outfit.
He has combined for 29 boards in the first three games so far, including a 14-rebound outing in the last contest. He had a game-saving block in overtime against the Kings and made the game-winning bucket in double-overtime.
