Milwaukee Bucks forward Nate Ament notched 23 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Wednesday's 110-91 Summer League win over Charlotte, adding six rebounds, two steals, and one assist across 25 minutes. The No. 13 pick had been quiet in Las Vegas to that point, scoring six and seven points in his first two outings, which made the aggression a welcome shift. He hit 2-for-7 from deep but got to the line six times, and Milwaukee's bench produced 43 points in the blowout. Ament arrived via a draft-night trade with Miami, and a Bucks roster in transition should hand him a real runway as a rookie. He averaged 16.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 35 starts in his lone season at Tennessee.

Boston Celtics guard Hugo Gonzalez recorded a game-high 24 points on 8-for-18 shooting in Wednesday's 82-76 Summer League win over the Kings, adding 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal across 33 minutes. The 20-year-old Spaniard led Boston in points, rebounds, and assists while resting just six minutes, connecting on 3-for-9 from deep and 3-for-3 at the line. It's a sharp correction after a 3-for-16 showing in the Vegas opener against Toronto. Boston reportedly declined to include Gonzalez in its trade package for Giannis Antetokounmpo, ESPN's Shams Charania reports, which speaks to how the front office values him. A larger second-year role looks plausible, though his jumper will set the fantasy ceiling.

Miami Heat guard Ryan Conwell has been sent home from Summer League, with the staff satisfied it had seen enough from the second-round pick, the Sun-Sentinel's Ira Winderman reports. The early exit reads as a vote of confidence rather than a demotion. The former Louisville standout averaged 21 points across three California Classic games and scored 19 in his lone Las Vegas appearance, backing the shooting that made him the ACC leader in made threes as a senior. Miami traded up to No. 37 to get him and has open roster spots but little room under the first apron, so a cheap movement shooter fits the need for backcourt creation around Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Heat are hard-capped at the first apron with several spots left to fill, math that favors a minimum-salaried guard who has already convinced the staff.

The Boston Celtics have signed guard/forward Tucker DeVries to an Exhibit 10 contract, Spotrac's Keith Smith reports. The deal is non-guaranteed, and DeVries joins fellow undrafted rookie Milos Uzan on terms that typically funnel players to a franchise's G League affiliate. A two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year at Drake, DeVries averaged 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in 34.2 minutes across 32 games last season at Indiana. He's added 11.0 points on 40.0 percent three-point shooting in two Summer League appearances in Las Vegas. Boston can convert an Exhibit 10 into a two-way deal before the season opens, but there's no fantasy angle here unless that conversion comes.
