NBA Summer League 2017: Sunday Schedule, Latest Las Vegas Standings and Stats

The NBA's 2017 Las Vegas Summer League is well underway, and the biggest names are living up to their top-pick status.

On Saturday alone, Dennis Smith Jr. went for 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Dallas Mavericks, Jayson Tatum dropped 27 points to go with 11 rebounds for the Boston Celtics and Lonzo Ball notched an 11-point, 11-rebound, 11-assist triple-double.

And things are just getting started.

Several more high-profile rookies and sophomores will be in action on Sunday. But unfortunately, headliner and No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz of the Philadelphia 76ers may be out. The Mercury News' Anthony Slater shared footage of him being helped off the floor during Saturday's action:

That doesn't mean the day will be a bust, though. There will still be plenty of intriguing matchups.

Players to Watch on Sunday

Dennis Smith Jr.

Before he played a second of official NBA basketball, Smith set NBA Twitter ablaze with this dunk in warmups, shared by the Mavericks' account:

That kind of explosiveness is something the Dallas backcourt hasn't boasted in years. Since the 2011 title run, it's just felt like a revolving door of past-their-prime vets at the 1.

With Smith now in place, Mavericks fans have plenty to look forward to. His ability to get to the paint is going to put pressure on opposing defenses and leave players like Harrison Barnes and Seth Curry with more open looks on the perimeter.

Jayson Tatum

Tatum has a much bigger offensive arsenal than most rookies. He's smooth when he wants to get all the way to the rim. His footwork in the post is textbook. And the form on his jumper is compact and consistent.

Two of those things have come together on a move that Tatum has gone to over and over in both the Utah and Vegas Summer Leagues: This fadeaway, shared by NBA on ESPN:

You don't have to look too hard to see shades of Dirk Nowitzki there. And with so many defenses keyed in on the three-point line and the rim these days, Tatum could find a cozy home in the mid-range.
