Summary
Brayden Burries led the analyst’s 11-player rookie ranking after a three-game Vegas run in which the Bucks guard hit 44% from three, posted 12 assists against one turnover, and added strong steal and block rates.
Cameron Boozer ranked No. 2 and Caleb Wilson No. 3, with Wilson’s 7 made threes in his debut standing out as a major sign of shooting growth after making only 7 all season at North Carolina.
AJ Dybantsa landed fourth despite shooting 1-of-11 from deep because the No. 1 pick still produced 63.8% true shooting, while Meleek Thomas placed fifth after his 85 points in 90 minutes carried over from earlier summer-league buzz.
The broader takeaway was that most top 2026 picks validated the class’s hype in Las Vegas, even as the analyst cautioned that summer league results should not be overread.
