Summer League is the event for overreacting. One good game can catapult a player’s reputation among fans. One terrible game can have them be labeled a bust. For contending teams, they are a glorified exhibition. For rebuilding teams, a glimpse into the future. Oftentimes we’re completely wrong about a player because of a poor/great showing in the event. See 2012 Summer League Co-MVP Josh Selby, who managed to play just 38 games in the NBA after the event, or Trae Young, who struggled mightily then was named an All-Star starter in his sophomore season. The truth is these games are not the be-all-end-all for a young player.
