Overview

  • Cooper Flagg reinforced his top-pick billing with a 31-point showing and all-around impact that cements his status as a frontrunner for Rookie of the Year.
  • Tre Johnson averaged 19.5 points per game on 68.8 percent true shooting to finish just behind Flagg and bolster his offensive reputation and fantasy value.
  • Dylan Harper returned with playmaking and defensive intensity reminiscent of Brandon Roy’s 2006 Summer League campaign, strengthening his Rookie of the Year prospects.
  • Sophomores Alex Sarr, Reed Sheppard and Ronald Holland II each posted breakout performances—block-heavy defense, high-scoring outputs and rebounding prowess—that signal expanded roles.
