The top of the 2026 NBA Draft class showed up and showed out in Las Vegas. AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson headlined on Thursday and the very next night, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson brought their Tobacco Road rivalry to the pros in a game that came down to the final possession.With Dybantsa and Wilson already looking capped after two games, Boozer playing four games across Salt Lake City and Vegas, and Peterson getting rested on a back-to-back, there’s a real chance we won’t see the top of this class again until training camp. So here’s where the top four stand following Monday’s action in Vegas.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWilson opened with the best scoring debut in Las Vegas Summer League history — 35 points, five rebounds, two steals and three blocks — then topped the shot-blocking output Monday, going for 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and five blocks in a loss to Utah. That’s four steals and eight blocks combined through two Vegas games, an elite profile of stocks that’s the real separator here. The most unexpected development has been Wilson’s 3-point shooting. He attempted 19 3s across two games, hitting 10. That’s huge for his fantasy value.Wilson led UNC in points, rebounds, steals and blocks last season, and Vegas confirmed the multi-category translation is real. The turnovers are a flag (six in the opener, four in the second one) and his free-throw shooting needs work. You have to remember that the Bulls don’t have a true PG on their Summer League roster, which is forcing Wilson to create more than he normally would. As for free throws, he hit them at 71% at UNC. Not bad, not great. But he’s clearly working on his shot, as evidenced by his quick addition of the 3-ball to his arsenal. He’s my No. 1, specifically because he touches the most category boxes, and I think he could leap Bulls SF Matas Buzelis as the second option already, behind Josh Giddey.Boozer has been the model of consistency all summer. He opened Salt Lake City with 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting, followed with an 18-point game hitting 4-of-5 from 3, punctuated his Vegas debut with 23 points in a win over Chicago, then added 21 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in Monday’s loss to Dallas. Through four games, Boozers is averaging 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals, 2.0 3s and 3.0 turnovers per game. The efficiency — 55% from the field, 47% from three, and 77% from the line — along with the counting stats, is where he excels in fantasy.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBoozer is a safe, high-floor fantasy asset because of his elite efficiency, but it’s the playmaking and steals that will raise his ceiling. As Vegas showed, he’ll get creation opportunities as a hub thanks to his high basketball IQ, processing and ability to make the right reads at just 18 years old. He’s going to start and has the skillset to be the top rookie in 9-cat formats. The Grizzlies’ rebuilding situation gives hi
