Killian Hayes’ path back to the NBA runs through the Cleveland Charge after a trade from Long Island. In 33 G League games last season he posted 17.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 2.0 steals in 32.9 minutes, while finally fixing his 3-point stroke to 37.1% with Long Island and 38.1% across a Brooklyn stint. A Montreal finale of 38 points and eight threes signaled real shooting progress. The next step is proving it in NBA minutes with Cleveland.

Udofia’s development plan paid off as Hayes evolved into a shot creator and floor spacer who also feeds teammates. For fantasy, the question is whether the improved shooting will translate to consistent NBA minutes and a meaningful cavalry role with the Cavaliers.

The Brooklyn Nets' performance at the 2025 NBA Las Vegas Summer League left much to be desired, finishing with a 1-4 record as they integrated four of their five rookies. Despite the overall struggles, Drew Timme stood out as a strong presence for the Nets, particularly in scoring. Egor Demin, the eighth overall pick, showed promising shooting skills, averaging 11.3 points per game while demonstrating improved three-point shooting. Nolan Traore, the 19th pick, showcased athleticism but struggled with efficiency. Ben Saraf provided solid playmaking as the 26th pick, while Danny Wolf contributed significantly in rebounding. The highlight reel from the Nets' content team captures these rookie performances.

The NBA Summer League in Las Vegas has entered its fourth day, shifting focus from top picks to lesser-known talents making their mark. Collin Murray-Boyle, the Raptors' No. 9 pick, showcased his potential with a solid debut after recovering from a hamstring injury, contributing 8 points and 7 rebounds despite some inconsistency in shooting. Meanwhile, Drew Timme, an undrafted Gonzaga star, lit up the court with 30 points, earning himself a shot at a standard contract next season. Other notables include Tre Johnson from the Wizards, who is averaging 19.5 points per game, and Daniss Jenkins of the Pistons, who has emerged as a standout prospect. With the league emphasizing the development of young talent, the Summer League is proving to be a critical proving ground for the future stars of the NBA.

The Brooklyn Nets' Summer League showcased promising new talent as Egor Dëmin, Nolan Traoré, Ben Saraf, and Danny Wolf debuted in Las Vegas. Despite a 90-81 loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Drew Timme's standout performance (22 points on 10-for-13 shooting) highlighted the night. Dëmin, the No. 8 pick, faced challenges but demonstrated potential with two late 3-pointers, while Traoré impressed with 13 points and remarkable speed. However, Saraf and Wolf struggled with shooting, raising questions about their immediate contributions. Coach Steve Hetzel emphasized that the team's construction aims to promote versatility and multiple ball-handlers.
