A year ago, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma was named MVP of the NBA summer-league championship game as he and No. 2 overall pick Lonzo Ball led the Lakers to victory in Las Vegas.
Kuzma's success didn't stay in Vegas. He'd go on to become the lowest-drafted player on the All-Rookie first team (No. 27 overall), joining four other players taken in the lottery.
So can studying the results from summer league help us uncover the next Kuzma? Or are we more likely to be led astray by outliers like Josh Selby, who shared 2012 NBA Summer League MVP honors with Damian Lillard?
