![]() Maarty Leunen, PF, Oregon - Leunen was drafted by the Rockets with the 54th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, meaning the Rockets still hold his rights. I was going to recap his game, but I'll direct you to my more in-depth breakdown of AJ's game here instead. BigsĪlexander Johnson, PF, Florida State - Johnson received a year-end call-up to the Rockets so that they'd have a chance at looking at him further in Summer League which probably gives him an inside track. Tre'von Hughes, SG, Wisconsin - If I thought Hughes could play point guard, I'd like him a lot more - but as a 6-foot-1 shooting guard that shot just 41% from the field I'm not quite as high on his NBA chances. I like his heart, but at his size (and with his struggles shooting and finishing), he's far from a lock to being an NBA player next year. ![]() Smith could be a player that looks really good in Summer League, though, as his speed and ability to keep his team at a solid tempo could definitely help make him look good in what can typically be a helter skelter environment. Unfortunately, the 6-foot point guard shot 45% from the field and just 22% from beyond the arc which doesn't exactly bode well for his NBA future. Ishmael Smith, PG, Wake Forest - Ish Smith might've been of the fastest players in college basketball this past season. He's not a pure point guard, but would immediately become one of the best shooters in the NBA - and would more than likely keep being the first player to the gym. With the BayHawks this season, Ahearn averaged 26.2 points, 6.0 assists 4.7 rebounds while shooting 43% from beyond the arc. Needless to say for those who follow the D-League, that was a bad situation and he was traded to the Erie BayHawks. Though Ahearn played well in Spain, he returned to the D-League once 10-day contracts became available and joined up with the Bakersfield Jam. Since his rookie season in 2007 began, Ahearn's been called up to the Miami Heat, played well for the Timberwolves in Summer League before earning a camp invite with the team, signed with the Spurs after being released by the Wolves, was released by the Spurs right before his contract needed to be guaranteed and after failing to get a guaranteed contract in Summer League last season he went overseas to play in Spain. Ahearn was then drafted in the fourth round of the D-League Draft by the Dakota Wizards and the rest, as they say in the business, is history. Guardsīlake Ahearn, PG/SG, Missouri State - I really have a feeling Blake is going to make an NBA roster this year.Īhearn played his college career as a skinny white kid at Missouri State that led the nation in free-throw shooting, but all of that didn't add up to any looks from the NBA. I'm going to list the players by position, then how likely it is that they'll appear on any NBA roster next season. They are guaranteed to play in the NBA next season and you should probably be able to learn everything you need to know about them over at The Dream Shake. has already made it clear he strongly disagrees with his 77 rating, noting he believes he should be in the 80s and ahead of rookies, including Green, who have yet to play in the NBA.ĭepending on results in the upcoming 2021-22 season, these roster ratings could be adjusted in later NBA 2K updates.In continuing the series of spending way too much time telling you more than you need to know about players that don't have NBA contracts, I present the Houston Rockets Summer League roster in excruciating detail.įor a breakdown of other NBA Summer League rosters, check these out: New Jersey Nets, Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets and the Dallas Mavericks.įor the rest of the Vegas Summer League rosters, refer to this post.Īs a friendly reminder to those that haven't been following this series, I won't be discussing Jermaine Taylor, Patrick Patterson, Jordan Hill or Chase Budinger. ![]() That’s tied for 49th overall and matches Mike Conley, Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, Jaren Jackson and Gordon Hayward.įrom best to worst, here’s the initial ratings list for the Rockets: For example, the two highest-rated players on the 2021-22 Houston Rockets roster - point guard John Wall and center Christian Wood - each have an 83 overall rating.
