Las Vegas Summer League thread

So any unsigned guys on other squads looking good as a flier. Louis King on the Kangs is a guy I think has some potential… not sure on his contract status. He got some run end of season and looked interesting. No one else I’ve seen that intrigues me but haven’t looked hard. Guys like Max Strus aren’t names I’m looking for since he’s signed and we likely can’t swoop in and get him.

I always thought Cam Oliver from Nevada could be an NBA player. I haven't followed him in Summer League though.
 
Hughes biggest issue seems to be his handle. He's not been able to really get his shots from the flow of the offense and I dont think he's a good enough self-creator to really dominate.
 
Udoka's FT's at least hit the same spot every time it seems. He just shoots it flat and too hard.
 
I think Hughes is just scared to make mistakes/miss shots out there. He isnt getting wide open looks, but he's open enough to pull the trigger but he's passing them up and it's making the offense stall. I've liked his driving game and the moves he's made to draw fouls, but he isn't a guy you want dribbling in too much traffic.
 
That being said, Hughes seems to be pretty good defensively, along with pretty much the entire Jazz starting lineup. I do wish Forrest put a bit more effort/focus into being a disruptor rather than just being safe.
