Who was the best veteran in Vegas?

Arnovitz: Kyle Anderson, San Antonio. "Slo-mo" averaged 22.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and better than a block and steal in less than 27 minutes per game, but the statline isn't the story here. Anderson was simply the most skilled and most intelligent player on the floor in Vegas. In an era when the league is increasingly valuing "basketball players" over freak athletes, Anderson seems primed for a jump in his second season.
Elhassan: Kyle Anderson. I'm an unabashed fan of the man affectionately known as Slo-Mo, and love his passing ability and the way he is unfazed by his severe lack of athleticism -- if anything, he uses it to his advantage against overactive defenders. The field-goal percentages are not where you'd like them to be, but Anderson isn't going to win any minutes during the season for his scoring prowess.

Foster: Kyle Anderson. His slow-motion game looked completely out of place,(cheap nba jerseys) but in all the best ways. Anderson's ability to consistently lure defenders into fouls and mess with the timing of shot-blockers was straight out of a veteran's handbook, and the stat-stuffing elsewhere showed that his development into Boris Diaw 2.0 is coming along just fine.
Pelton: Seth Curry. The leading scorer in summer league, Curry is also tops in steals per game. He's shown the ability to create for himself off the dribble even though his 3-point shot has not been falling.
Verrier: Seth Curry. The Curry family is having itself a year. After Steph's side of the tree dominated the NBA storylines this past season with success and adorability, Seth appropriately leads the Las Vegas Summer League in scoring (albeit while shooting under 20 percent from 3) and is the favorite to add another MVP trophy to Mamma Curry's mantel.
Arnovitz: The size of the crowds. Some of that can be chalked up to the Lakers and Knicks showcasing Top 5 picks in D'Angelo Russell and Kristaps Porzingis, but there were few super-hyped rookies this season and, let's be honest, the actual basketball product can be brutal. The legion of NBA junkies is growing by the year and they're looking for any opportunity to get within an arm's reach of the pro game.
Elhassan: Undrafted free agent Maurice Ndour showing out for the Knicks' summer league squad. Here's an unheralded prospect out of mid-major Ohio who struggled just to get predraft workouts lined up, and ended up being one of the best players for the Knicks during the week. He rebounded, he defended, was efficient with his touches and was surprisingly comfortable operating out of the pinch post in the triangle offense, and should have a number of offers lined up from both NBA and European teams.
Foster: The lack of consensus opinions on the top rookies. Aside from Karl-Anthony Towns, it seems like most of the top picks (Russell, Okafor, Porzingis) in this class remain polarizing. The up-and-down performances probably played into that, but it didn't seem like skeptics were being converted at a very high rate this year.
Pelton: Emmanuel Mudiay's court vision. When I saw him at the Nike Hoop Summit, I was impressed by Mudiay's ability to get to the basket but wondered if he could make plays for others. He's shown terrific playmaking in Las Vegas.
Verrier: D'Angelo Russell's averageness. You see the videos of Russell throwing passes like breaking balls and instantly buy in, but the No. 2 overall pick was just OK in Vegas, and looked particularly lead-footed when playing next to the dynamic Jordan Clarkson. He'll probably be fine, and his final line (11.8 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 3.2 APG) isn't all that alarming, but, much to the chagrin of the Lakers fans that packed the house, it may take Russell longer than expected to bring glory back to the crestfallen franchise.
