NBA Rookie Rankings: A way-too-early look at the ROY race after Summer League

The Las Vegas Summer League has come to an end. The Miami Heat took home the championship after beating the Memphis Grizzlies, 120-118, in overtime.

Rookie Kel'el Ware (the No. 15 pick) played every game for the Heat and tallied 21 points, 10 rebounds and one block in the final game. He seems like the perfect fit in Miami, bringing some added rim protection alongside Bam Adebayo and looking fluid in the pick-and-roll set.

Unlike Ware, most of the top rookies shut it down early during Summer League, playing up to only three games.
