Filipowski wasn’t quite as effective as a scoring option in Utah’s second Summer League game, but he was more impactful on the glass. He had 22 points on Saturday, but he only grabbed six rebounds in that game. With John Collins now in Los Angeles, Filipowski will certainly be in line to play a prominent reserve role for the Jazz.

Williams was solid in his first game of Summer League, and he was even better on Monday. The 2024 lottery pick had an atrocious rookie season but was always considered a developmental project. While we may not see him take a giant leap this year, the fact that he is producing well in Summer League is encouraging. He should be better than most of his competition, and he’s playing like it.

Once again, there weren’t really any answers for Sensabaugh in this game. He has 56 points and 11 threes through two Summer League games, and he got to the free throw line at will on Monday. It likely won’t be long before the 2023 first-round pick is asked to sit out the rest of Summer League. He has been that dominant and should play a large role for Utah this season.

Anderson played a limited role between the Warriors and Heat last season, and Love’s role was even more limited. Love is headed into his 18th season and could be moved again before the season starts. Anderson doesn’t fit with Utah’s current timeline either, so he could be on the move too. If either player remains with the Jazz, they will likely be culture veterans rather than real threats for playing time.

Needing to upgrade their backup center situation, the Nuggets acquired Valančiūnas from the Kings in exchange for Dario Šarić. However, on Thursday, it was reported by BasketNews that the veteran center was considering a move to Europe to play for Greek power Panathinaikos. Valančiūnas is under contract with the Nuggets, so he would require a buyout to move to Greece. According to Charania, the Nuggets view JV as a key component for next season, so he’ll have to fulfill the requirements of his contract. Playing behind Nikola Jokić limits Valančiūnas’ fantasy value, but he’ll have “real” value to a team that hopes to contend for a championship.

Ware came on strong during the second half of his rookie year in Miami after being drafted 15th overall in 2024. He became a full-time starter, which is a role he should maintain heading into next season. Still, he was out there to kick off Summer League, though it’s unclear how many games he’ll end up playing in. He missed all four of his three-point attempts but was aggressive as a scoring option in this game. Of course, the defensive production was great to see after he averaged 1.1 blocks per game during his rookie season.

Two days after Landale was waived to make room for Clint Capela, he finds himself in a potentially rewarding situation in Memphis. Jaren Jackson Jr. (toe) is expected to be sidelined for most of the summer, which could delay his availability to start the year, while Zach Edey (ankle) is expected to miss the start of next season. Memphis also just sent Jay Huff to Indiana, so Landale could play a significant role early on. However, that statistical success will likely be short-lived.
