Young Stars Shine Bright on Day 11 of NBA Summer League in Vegas
The 2025 NBA Summer League continues to bring the heat in Las Vegas, and Day 11 might have been the most electric yet. If you’re tuning in, you already know Summer League isn’t just about who wins—it’s about who shows up. And yesterday, some of these young players didn’t just show up—they showed out .
Let’s start with Jahmir Young, who absolutely erupted. This second-year guard for the Bulls dropped a scorching 40 points—yeah, you heard that right— 40 ! That’s the most ever scored by a Bulls player in Summer League history. And it wasn’t just about volume; Young was super efficient, shooting 13-of-18 from the field and a ridiculous 7-of-8 from deep. He looked like a man on a mission, pulling up in transition, finishing through contact, and splashing threes like he was born for Vegas. This is a guy who went undrafted in 2024. Now? He’s making noise in every NBA front office.

But Jahmir wasn’t the only standout. Cleveland’s Tyrese Proctor, a second-round pick from Duke, turned in a massive 35-point performance. While the Cavs fell short against the Kings, Proctor showed why he might be a hidden gem. He was aggressive, drew fouls, and made all nine of his free throws. His court presence was undeniable, and with guards like Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland ahead of him, the Cavs can afford to let him grow into something special.
Rob Dillingham of the Timberwolves also caught attention. He had 23 points, seven boards, and seven assists, helping Minnesota edge out Phoenix. Even though his three-point shot wasn’t falling, he played smart, stayed in control, and ran the offense like a pro.
Then there’s Philly’s Johni Broome, who recorded his second straight double-double with 22 points and 14 rebounds. He’s showing a real nose for the ball and was lights-out in the second half. The Sixers may have struck gold with the 35th pick of the draft.
Let’s not overlook the Pelicans duo either—Jeremiah Fears and Trey Alexander. Fears, the No. 7 overall pick, showed flashes of brilliance with 22 points and some crisp passing, while Alexander came off the bench firing, leading all scorers in their game with 25 points. For a guy on a two-way contract, he looked every bit like someone who deserves real minutes.
And finally, Utah’s Cody Williams reminded everyone why he was a top-10 pick. After a few quiet games, he broke out with 23 points on efficient shooting, adding some hustle plays and a strong defensive presence. With numbers like he’s been putting up—19 points per game and solid all-around contributions—he’s definitely trending upward.
Look, Summer League isn’t always about wins and losses. It’s about potential. It’s about discovery. And on Day 11, we saw some serious breakout performances that could end up shaping the next NBA season—and maybe even the next few years.
These guys are writing their own stories under the bright Vegas lights, and if Day 11 is any indication, the future of the league is in very good hands.
