Victor Wembanyama made a shaky start to life in the NBA on Friday night with a poor shooting performance in the San Antonio Spurs' Summer League opener, but fellow rookies Scoot Henderson and Amen Thompson made their mark in Las Vegas.
Number-one overall pick Wembanyama went 2-13 from the field in his first performance for the Spurs at Thomas & Mack Center in a low-scoring win over the Charlotte Hornets, but it was the third and fourth picks in last month's draft that stole the show in Sin City.
Henderson and Thompson faced off on the court and both were hugely impressive for the Portland Trail Blazers and the Houston Rockets respectively. Point guard Henderson ran the show for the Blazers with 15 points, six assists and five rebounds, producing several highlight moments, while Thompson accumulated 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a dramatic win for the Rockets.
