NBA Fantasy Report on Las Vegas Summer League Action

Jul 12, 2025

The NBA Summer League continued to deliver explosive performances on July 11, 2025, with seven games showcasing the next generation of talent. While Cooper Flagg's debut may have grabbed headlines earlier in the week, Friday's slate featured breakout performances from second-year players and rookies alike, providing fantasy managers with crucial insights into potential sleepers and breakout candidates for the upcoming season.

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES

Kyle Filipowski Dominates with 32-Point Explosion

Utah Jazz forward Kyle Filipowski delivered the most impressive performance of the day, torching the Charlotte Hornets for 32 points on exceptional 12-of-17 shooting. The second-year player added 6 rebounds and 5 assists while connecting on 3-of-6 three-point attempts in the Jazz's narrow 111-105 loss.

Fantasy Outlook: Filipowski's performance showcased his elite scoring versatility and floor-stretching ability as a big man. His capacity to operate from multiple levels while maintaining playmaking skills makes him a valuable multi-category contributor. The efficient shooting display suggests he's ready for expanded responsibility in Utah's rotation this season.

Kobe Bufkin's Clutch Heroics Power Hawks Comeback

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin authored one of the most clutch performances in Summer League history, scoring 29 points including 17 in the fourth quarter to lead a comeback victory over Miami. Most remarkably, Bufkin went perfect from the free-throw line, making all 15 attempts.

Fantasy Outlook: Bufkin's clutch gene and free-throw perfection demonstrate his potential as a reliable fantasy contributor. His ability to take over games in crucial moments and convert at the charity stripe makes him an intriguing late-round flyer with upside for increased usage.
