NBA Summer League 2023: Hot Takes About Top Players from Day 1 Las Vegas Results

NBA Summer League 2023: Hot Takes About Top Players from Day 1 Las Vegas Results
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JULY 07: Victor Wembanyama #1 of the San Antonio Spurs drives to the basket against James Nnaji #46 of the Charlotte Hornets during the first quarter at the Thomas & Mack Center on July 07, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)Ethan Miller/Getty Images

The first day of Las Vegas Summer League kicked off Friday with an absolutely loaded slate that not only gave NBA lovers everywhere some competitive action, but also a glimpse of the league’s very bright future.

All of the top-four selections from this year’s draft class suited up in Sin City and took over the Thomas and Mack Center. Scoot Henderson and Amen Thompson faced off in the battle of the top rookie guards before Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller had the marquee matchup of the night as the top two picks from the draft.

Here’s what NBA Twitter had to say about an exciting night of summer hoops.

Victor Wembanyama Welcomed to the NBA

One of the most hyped prospects in NBA history and certainly of this generation, Wembanyama’s Summer League debut was more anticipated than a “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” double feature.

But it probably didn’t go exactly as he and the rest of the basketball world envisioned.

The No. 1 overall pick didn’t necessarily have a bad game, but it was a much weaker outing than everyone was expecting. He finished with just nine points on 2-of-13 shooting from the field to go along with eight rebounds, three assists and five blocks.

He even had his “Welcome to the NBA” moment in the third quarter when Kai Jones dunked over him, a play that shocked the crowd at the Thomas and Mack Center as the 7-foot-5 alien looked a bit human.

With how impatient Twitter is, it took a moment to give the rookie star a hard time.

A reminder that Victor Wembanyama is 7-foot-5.

Best way I can describe Victor Wembanyama’s summer league debut is that it was uncomfortable to watch. But I’ll buy any Wemby stock being sold tonight.

Wembanyama will get another crack at it Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Scoot Henderson Injured After Hot Start

One of the most heralded players in this year’s draft class, Henderson showed up and showed out early in his Summer League debut against the Houston Rockets.

Henderson, who was taken No. 3 overall by the Trail Blazers, came out to send a message, being uber-aggressive in the early moments of the matchup. He had 13 of his 15 points in the opening quarter and ended the game with five rebounds, six assists and a steal in 21 minutes of action.

Unfortunately, his night ended prematurely after he injured his soldier late in the third quarter and would not return. Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported that he’s set to undergo an MRI but the organization is optimistic that it isn’t anything serious.

But while he was on the floor, he had NBA Twitter feeling optimistic about Portland’s future even with the imminent departure of superstar guard Damian Lillard, who has requested a trade to the Miami Heat.

After watching one half of Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, I think the Blazers will be just fine parting ways with Dame.

if your name is scoot henderson you logically have to be talented and famous. if not then what’s the point

Roosh @RooshWilliams

I think Blazers fans are gonna forget about Dame overnight now that they’ve got Scoot Henderson. He looks phenomenal.

Ty Jäger @TheTyJager

Scoot Henderson impressed early on. He’s gonna be an elite two-way guard. Portland is going to be fine at the point guard even without Dame.

Buzz @BuzzOnTap

I’d love to have a back court of Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe.

Blazers need to sell of Dame and start building around those kids.

While it’s still unclear whether Henderson will be able to suit up, Portland is in action again Sunday night against Wembanyama and the Spurs.

Amen Thompson Stuffing the Stat Sheet in Debut

Facing off against Henderson in a matchup of the top two guard prospects from the draft, Thompson held his own against his more touted counterpart by doing a little bit of everything in the Rockets win.

Thompson, 20, finished with 16 points to go along with four rebounds, five assists, four blocks and three steals as he did absolutely everything on both ends of the floor.

Even with Fred VanVleet set to take over as the Rockets’ starting point guard, Thompson looks like he’s not far off from being ready to take the keys and lead the Rockets into the future with their bevy of young talent.

But much like Henderson, Thompson also was plagued by an injury, leaving the game with an ankle injury late in the fourth quarter and not returning to the game.

Nonetheless, Twitter was hyping up the older Thompson twin in his debut on an NBA stage.

Amen Thompson’s vision is ELITE 🥽 pic.twitter.com/8W6SOqaPq4

ALSO.

I do not think Amen Thompson will start to begin the regular season but I do not know how long that can remain the case lol

Bradeaux @BradeauxNBA

Amen Thompson was literally everywhere tonight…

He moved like a 6’7″ Russell Westbrook offensively and finished with 7 stock’s defensively..

I’ve never quite seen anything like it. pic.twitter.com/cEN0W1Hui4

“That Amen Thompson kid might be coming for my job real soon.” pic.twitter.com/BSTW5zUZxL

Roosh @RooshWilliams

Game One SL Thoughts:

1. Amen Thompson looks exactly as advertised. Serious cause for excitement in Houston

2. Tari Eason continues to be an impact player who contributes to winning

3. Jabari came alive in the 3Q. That’s the version of his game I wanna see a lot of this season

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

I get it: FVV is great. But I just hate that Houston’s blocked Amen Thompson’s path to the starting point guard spot for either three years, barring a trade

If he’s healthy, Thompson will have a chance to go up against his brother Ausar and the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. night.

Markquis Nowell has “IT”

The star of the NCAA Tournament back in March, Markquis Nowell brought some of that madness magic to Sin City, balling out in his summer league debut with the Toronto Raptors in their matchup against the Chicago Bulls.

On a night, where all eyes were on the team’s lottery pick Gradey Dick, Nowell stole the show, dropping a game-high 17 points to go along with four rebounds, five assists and three steals in an electric performance.

Nowell is on a two-way deal with the Raptors but has gotten off on the right foot if he wants to earn a shot with the full roster at some point during the year.

Even as the smallest player on the court, Nowell managed to play bigger than anybody else on the floor. And it had Raptors Twitter excited for what he can potentially become.

RaptorsUpdates @RapsUpdates

“I expect to win. Win five games, and we come home with a trophy. Win Summer League MVP…. A successful trip would be us winning and me getting my contract bumped up (from two-way to full roster).”

Markquis Nowell showed glimpses of his leadership in his Summer League debut with the Raptors. He notched 17 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and as the game went on he felt more free to dictate the pace. Nowell has it! #WetheNorth #NBASummerLeague

“you sure Markquis Nowell’s game can translate to the NBA?”pic.twitter.com/Jc1L1xYKPM

Blake Murphy @BlakeMurphyODC

In the time before he earns a call-up, Markquis Nowell is going to be the greatest G League player of all time.

🎙 @6ixIn6

Watching Markquis Nowell play for my team in a summer league game brought me more joy than all of last season combined

D. Scott Fritchen @DScottFritchen

The NBA is going to quickly realize Markquis Nowell has “it.”

Oren Weisfeld @OrenWeisfeld

Well, it didn’t take Markquis Nowell very long to become a fan favourite. Not a bad start to his Raptors career!

Nowell and Toronto play Sunday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
