As we near the end of NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas, we have some sense of which players drafted outside the lottery may return positive value.

The Trail Blazers surprised many when they took the 7-foot-1 center in the first round of the draft last month, but Yang has delighted on and off the court.

Bronny James, Kon Knueppel and Hansen Yang all impressed in their respective NBA Summer League games on Thursday.

The Portland Trail Blazers moved to 3-1 in the 2025 NBA Summer League with a 102-83 win Thursday night over the Houston Rockets at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas. The Blazers, already eliminated from the four-team playoff round this weekend, will play a fifth game this weekend against an opponent yet to be determined.

While Flagg looked good with the ball in his hands, he looked better playing off it, and that will be more of his role in Dallas where D’Angelo Russell in the short term and Kyrie Irving long term (once healthy), not to mention Anthony Davis, will facilitate the offense most of the time.

NBA fans got their first look at Hansen Yang, a seven-foot first-round pick of the Portland Trailblazers, to close out Friday's NBA Summer League slate.
