2021 Las Vegas Summer League: All-Rookie Teams - Yahoo Sports

On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Summer League concluded after 10 days of action with the Sacramento Kings taking home the championship after defeating the Boston Celtics.

The competition from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas gave fans the opportunity to watch the top picks in the NBA draft for the first time. The likes of Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green and several others showed out and proved to be the real deal.

While many selected near the top of the draft board impressed, several other first-year players turned in strong performances throughout their time in Las Vegas. Overall, the chance to see the incoming class of players this year proved to be highly entertaining for everyone involved.

While the NBA named just two teams, we took it one step further and honored the next five best players. Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte topped the third team after averaging 18.2 points, four rebounds and 3.8 rebounds in four games. He finished sixth in scoring among all first-year players while shooting 48.2% from 3-point range. After Moses Moody and Evan Mobley, our third team features a couple of second-round picks in Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (No. 32) and Sandro Mamukelashvili (No. 54). The two each performed well and looked to be some of the best second-round picks in summer league. Here are our selections for the All-Rookie third team:
