The NBA Summer League kicked off in Las Vegas with much anticipation around Cooper Flagg and Bronny James, but it was Ryan Nembhard, an undrafted guard from Gonzaga, who stole the spotlight. Nembhard displayed impressive control, a fluid jumper, and tenacious defense, making a compelling case for a role with the Dallas Mavericks. With Kyrie Irving sidelined, Nembhard's skill set could prove crucial for the Mavs this offseason.

While Dallas signed D'Angelo Russell as their primary point guard, it appears Nembhard could provide valuable support. His ability to run the offense and contribute defensively aligns with the Mavs' needs as they navigate the season without Irving. The Summer League performance gives fans hope for Nembhard's potential impact.
