What are hosts' first impressions from Day One of NBA Summer League?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for July 10th, 2026. I'm Dave DeFore here with Espera Henney live from Summer League, my hotel room. good morning everybody what is up s late night for us um day one of summer league in the books late day all day it's been it's been a grind since about seven in the morning funds this is look summer league is is my favorite basketball thing yeah uh definitely my favorite nba thing and one of my favorite weeks of the year that i get to spend like i pretty sure i gave like 150 hugs today which is great like
it's a good time to meet some pals, to meet some people that you haven't seen in a while. Uh, it's also a great time for NBA fans to get introduced to the new age of stars.
Right. We got to see that a little bit. Also, if you guys didn't catch it over on YouTube, uh, S had a chance to sit down with Alan Graves from the Toronto Raptors. Nice guy. Great guy. Great. Um, you know, I really, I loved, I mean, I loved his personality quite a bit. Like he was a lot of fun. I think you guys would enjoy that if you didn't get a chance to catch it. Um, Who was the most famous former player that you saw today? Did you see anybody?
It's always one of my favorite things. Yeah, yeah. I saw Paul Pierce eating Bojangles.
I also saw Paul Pierce eating Bojangles. I think he was eating Bojangles for a while.
Yeah, yeah. He was there for a while. He was eating it in the little studio. If you guys know that there's a little studio space in Thompson Mack Center and he was using the desk as his little area to eat the Bojangles, which was funny. Saw Scotty Barnes and Brandon Ingram embrace. We're going to talk about the Kawhi Leonard stuff in a little bit. That's certainly interesting. Who else did we see? Famous NBA players. Anybody from you?
No. Did you see Malik Rose? I didn't see Malik. I didn't see him. I'm sure we'll run into each other somewhere this week. You know who I did see? Darren Peterson. AJ DeBonsa. That dunk that AJ DeBonsa had where he loses the ball on the way up. And I'm learning this as I'm watching tape on him. He does like to jump off his right foot quite a bit. And he jumps off. So it's wrong foot jump. He's sky high in the air. I feel like he's got like a nine-foot standing reach. And he loses the ball up top, regains control, and just flushes. That was one of the more athletic plays I think I've seen anyone do at Summer League. It was pretty insane. It's one of those things where...
He's still 19 years old, and he very clearly has all of the physical tools possible to get to a certain level in his career. It's not perfect right now. Some of the shots and some of the decision making. I don't like his jumper.
The turnaround jumper, he likes it. It's not good. He's a big fan of it. The thing is, he has this two motion, and we're going to get a little nerdy here, but he's got this two motion shot. And I'm not, look, Clay Thompson has a two motion shot. You can be a great shooter. Damien Lillard has a two point. But it makes you slower. Yeah. We saw him get a three pointer blocked. Mm-hmm. I think that the turnaround part of the issue there is he's got to create so much space when he turns to get that slower shutoff. And he's also doing it. It's a lower release point.
Well, it's also like you're in motion, right? That's why like a fadeaway jump shot is always hard because the angle and the way that your body is jumping away from the basket. But we're nitpicking a guy who had 27.
Who were the notable former NBA players and personalities spotted at Summer League?
He had 27. I thought the thing, you know, outside of the offense, which I think will be a work in progress, and I'm very fascinated to see how that works in Washington, where there are a lot of mouths to feed between Trey Young and Trey Johnson, who was incredible in this game.
Trey Johnson should not play any more summer league games.
We are shutting you down. If Ryan Keefe is not shutting you down, we are. But between Trey Young and Trey Johnson, between Anthony Davis, obviously, between Alex Saar and Bilal and Keyshawn, it's like... We're not saying Bilal because Koulibaly doesn't touch the ball.
