NBA fans will get a chance to see the full future of the league this summer during the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League 2018 in Las Vegas.

The league will feature all 30 teams for the first time, including an early battle between the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings, who currently own the first two picks of the June 21 NBA draft.

The action will run from July 6-17, featuring three preliminary games for each team followed by a tournament to determine a champion.

The Los Angeles Lakers were the summer league champions a year ago behind the play of No. 2 overall pick Lonzo Ball. The point guard was named MVP after averaging 16.3 points, 9.3 assists 7.7 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game, also becoming the first player to drop a triple-double.

Meanwhile, the summer league allowed a few rookies to showcase their potential before outstanding seasons, including fellow Lakers star Kyle Kuzma.

Donovan Mitchell led all scorers in Las Vegas with 28 points per game in two contests prior to becoming one of the top rookies in the NBA this past season.

Fans should be on the lookout for more sleepers to prove they should have been drafted higher this summer.
