Alex Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, represented the Washington Wizards in the Summer League with a strong defensive performance. Sarr’s elite defensive abilities were on full display, as he showcased his shot-blocking prowess with four blocks and a steal. He also contributed on the offensive end, making an impact with his scoring and rebounding.

The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Terrence Shannon Jr. also made waves in the Summer League with his standout play. Shannon’s highlight-reel dunk for his first professional basket set the tone for an impressive performance, where he displayed his scoring ability, defensive prowess, and overall versatility on the court.
