Houston Rockets — Summer League 2026

From: Ohio State

From: NC State

Long, switchable wing who impacted games at Syracuse and NC State with versatility on defense and playmaking vision in transition. Shooting mechanics remain inconsistent—career 28% from three—which limits his half-court offensive value. Watch whether he can knock down spot-up threes consistently; if not, he's a camp body rather than a legitimate rotation piece.

From: Houston Rockets

Experienced floor general from back-to-back UConn championship teams who controls tempo, makes simple reads, and competes defensively with functional strength. Limited burst and a flat shooting stroke (33% from three as a senior) cap his upside as anything more than a third-string orchestrator. Summer League will test whether he can score efficiently in space without elite college spacing and execution around him.

From: Vanoli Cremona (Italy – Serie A)

Italian combo guard with solid three-point shooting (career 36% in Serie A) and secondary playmaking who understands angles and spacing. Lacks NBA-level athleticism and struggles to create separation or finish through contact against length. Watch his decision-making under ball pressure—needs to prove he can handle defensive intensity without turning it over.

From: Purdue

Big-bodied Purdue center (7'0", 265) who sets crushing screens, cleans glass, and protects the rim with decent timing. Feet are heavy, offers zero spacing, and gets hunted in pick-and-roll coverage on the perimeter. Watch his conditioning and whether he can stay on the floor in uptempo Summer League action—likely overseas or G League depth at best.
