NBA Las Vegas Summer League: Vol. 3

Kevin RobertsJul 13, 2009

Just as in the first nights of games, there were a few big performances that were noteworthy.

The list has dropped considerably, but with players such as Blake Griffin and Earl Clark set to make their debuts on Monday night, things could get even more interesting.

Follow your favorite college players trying to make a name for themselves in the NBA summer league:

Darren Collison, PG, New Orleans Hornets

Collison showed right away that he was at least somewhat deserving of a first-round selection, as he displayed sound offensive game, as well as good vision while manning the point.

He should serve as a very capable back-up to Chris Paul.

Final line: 19 points, six assists, five rebounds

Marcus Thornton, SG, New Orleans Hornets

Thornton's calling-card in college was his ability to score, and it was no different in his first summer league action.

He went eight-of-19 from the field, and also got to the line at a decent rate, going five-of-six.

Final line: 25 points, six rebounds, two steals

George Hill, G/F, San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs already know what they have in Hill, but the summer league is simply a platform for him to continue to show them how his game has improved.

And offensively, it's reached a very high level.

Final line: 25 points, four rebounds, three assists

Marcus Williams, PG, Memphis Grizzlies

In an absolute blowout over the Thunder, Williams led the Grizzlies' potent and spread-out attack, dishing out assist-after-assist, while also chipping in seven points on three-of-nine shooting.

Williams has always had only a mediocre offensive game, but his vision and passing ability is what keeps his potential interesting.

Final line: seven points, 17 assists, four rebounds

Player of the Day: Brandon Jennings, PG, Milwaukee Bucks

Jennings made a decent debut on Friday, but his Sunday performance was the one that showed the most promise.

Jennings' shot is still average, but his ability to create for himself and others is quite possibly unmatched by any other player that has played in the league through Sunday night.

He's also very active on defense, as he grabbed five steals, while only registering three personal fouls.

Final line: 23 points, eight assists, five steals
