New York Knicks forward Tyler Nickel scored 18 points and grabbed four rebounds in Friday's 91-65 Summer League loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The No. 47 pick shot 6-for-11 from the field and 6-for-10 from three-point range, giving New York one of its few bright spots in a one-sided defeat. Nickel's shooting is the clear fantasy hook after he arrived from Vanderbilt with a movement-shooter profile. He will need to show more than spot-up value to push for regular-season minutes, but the three-point volume gives him a skill worth tracking.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Nae'Qwan Tomlin finished with 20 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block across 29 minutes in Friday's 99-93 Summer League loss to the Indiana Pacers. Tomlin tied Meleek Thomas for the team lead in scoring and gave Cleveland one of its best two-way lines despite the loss. The 25-year-old already flashed late-season upside with a 26-point regular-season game in April, and this outing showed the same activity-based appeal. Tomlin is still working toward a consistent offensive role, but his ability to rebound, defend, and hit enough jumpers could help him earn a longer look in Cleveland's rotation.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Bennett Stirtz supplied 18 points, two assists, one steal, and one block across 28 minutes in Friday's 96-84 Summer League loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The No. 16 pick shot 7-for-14 from the field and 3-for-8 from three-point range, leading five Thunder players in double figures. Stirtz averaged 19.8 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals at Iowa last season, so the scoring and on-ball reps fit his profile. He still needs to prove he can handle NBA size, but his shooting and feel give him a path to bench-guard minutes.

Houston Rockets guard Bruce Thornton tallied 27 points, three rebounds, three assists, and three steals across 35 minutes in Friday's 97-86 Summer League win over the Denver Nuggets. The No. 31 pick led Houston in scoring and helped the Rockets pull away with a 29-19 fourth quarter. Thornton's shot volume was high, but he went 7-for-7 at the free-throw line and added defensive production, which matters for his fantasy profile. The rookie still faces a tough climb to regular-season value, though his scoring polish and on-ball reps make him worth tracking this summer.
