The NBA’s annual Las Vegas Summer League is a melting pot of basketball. A two-week long hoops extravaganza where top picks square off against each other, reunions are aplenty in the Vegas heat and some new faces make a name for themselves on the NBA stage.
One of the breakout stars of Summer League thus far is Tyler Nickel, the Knicks’ new sharpshooter who was the 47th pick in the draft. Through three games, he’s knocked down 13 three-pointers and has the shooting stroke that looks like it can translate to the next level immediately.
