​LAS VEGAS — Summer League is a time for glimpses, not guarantees.From an analysis standpoint, toes are being dipped in the water here; it’s how you get a feel for who players are, what they like, where they have to grow once competition ramps up during preseason play, and again once the regular season begins.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMore than anything, Summer League is supposed to be fun. I recently left Vegas, and while I don’t miss the (dry) heat, I do miss the general vibe there. Walking around the arena, not knowing if you’re going to run into fellow basketball sickos — fans, friends, media members, coaches, players, former league-mates — is part of the charm. You never know what throwback jerseys you’re going to see, either.This piece is less about nitty gritty analysis, and more about celebrating the things that have brought me joy through a week-plus of Summer League action.Let’s hand out some awards, shall we?There’s generally a level of self-belief — and (not so) borderline arrogance — you have to have to become a top pick. AJ Dybantsa certainly has that in spades.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBeyond the pure talent — his ability to will himself into the paint for shots at the rim, free throws, or both, might just be unrivaled in this class — there’s a way that he reacts to defenses as a concept that I enjoyed watching up close.AJ Dybantsa is showing why he was the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft.

Like, it was as if he was confused and disgusted at the thought of someone having the audacity of trying to contain him.There’s some level of shot selection refinement needed, but that isn’t new for a talented top pick. I do already appreciate his aggression and his approach. He’s not scared of anyone.There’s plenty to like about the Caleb Wilson experience so far. He shined in his debut against the Cameron Boozer-led Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, dropping a game-high 35 points on what felt like every variation of off-the-dribble 3 you can think of. On Monday night, he followed that up with a less-efficient 19-point outing, but still managed to fill the statsheet with eight rebounds and seven stocks (two steals, five blocks).AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe’s going to be a problem, especially if the shooting is a heavier, more reliable part of his diet than initially anticipated.But we’re not here to talk about any of that. We’re here to talk about him making future Hall of Famer Blake Griffin proud with this bad boy against the Jazz:Wheeeeeeeeeew! So, three things:Yes, it’s a dunk. I’ve written extensively about the subject. #RespectTheDunktionaryIt’s not easy to elevate that way, from that angle, and still have the coordination and ac
