NBA summer league came to an end in thrilling fashion Monday night, as the Miami Heat beat the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime to claim the title.
From a long-term standpoint, the most important action over the past 11 days in Las Vegas came early, as some of this year's top draft picks squared off. No. 3 pick Reed Sheppard of the Houston Rockets impressed with back-to-back 20-point performances, while Washington Wizards No. 2 pick Alex Sarr struggled with his shot after scoring 12 points in his debut against Atlanta Hawks No. 1 pick and fellow France native Zaccharie Risacher.
Let's recap the action during NBA summer league -- excluding performances in the California Classic and Salt Lake City summer leagues, which preceded all 30 teams arriving in Vegas -- by taking a look at some of the standouts in several different categories, including strong performances by Grizzlies veteran guard Scotty Pippen Jr. and Heat rookie Kel'el Ware in leading their teams to the title game.
