What happened to the last 12 NBA Summer League MVPs? #nba
What Happened to the last 12 Summer League MVPs:
2014: Glen Rice Jr. Won Summer League MVP in 2014, but only lasted 2 seasons in the NBA Averaging 2.7 PPG
2015: Kyle Anderson: He Currently plays for the Raptors, but had a consistent career off the bench averaging close to 7 PPG.
2016: Tyus Jones: He is Currently a free agent, but as of recent started really improving his game averaging close to 12 PPG
2017: Lonzo Ball: Had promising seasons derailed by knee injuries, he was most recently traded from the Cavs to the Jazz, but the Jazz waived him so he’s not on an NBA team.
2018: Josh Hart: Became a high-energy, rebounding wing and crucial piece for the Champion New York Knicks.
2019: Brandon Clarke: Thrived as an athletic big man for the Grizzlies and had a promising career. Sadly he passed away this year, may he rest in peace.
2020: Had no Summer League because of the Bubble.
2021: Had 2 MVPs Davion Mitchell and Cam Thomas: Davion Gained a reputation as a defensive first Guard. Thomas proved himself as a dynamic scorer with several 40-point games.
2022: Keegan Murray: Emerged as a dependable starter and key contributor, averaging over 12 PPG.
2023: Cam Whitmore: He Currently plays for the Wizards, but his first 2 seasons in Houston showed a lot of promise as he averages over 10 PPG.
2024: Jalen Wilson: Another Promising player who just came off of a 7 PPG Season.
2025: Kyle Filipowski, is a really underrated center who just came off of a 12 PPG season for the Jazz
2026: Yaxel Lendeborg of the Golden State Warriors was named the 2026 NBA Summer league MVP, he is still a rookie, hopefully he has a great career.
Ngl, I'm not really hopeful for Yaxel. He's 23 years old and only just got drafted. If he's only at the point of being nba-ready two years before he's supposed to hit his prime, I'm kinda doubting his future.
Tyus jones signed with the nuggets
Damn 2014 was 12 years ago I remember watching 2017 Summer League like it was yesterday
rip brandon bruh shit actually makes me cry
RIP Brandon Clarke ❤
Rip Brandon Clark 💔
I don’t know much about NBA but, why are these guys all the best players on bad teams or career role players? Wouldn’t the #1 overall picks be Summer MVP’s, or guys that become AllStars?
rip brandon clarke
Josh Hart the Best summer league player here 🔥🔥
rip brandon clark
Josh Hart the first on the list to do well
Damn I just noticed damn there all of them is out of the league
Rip brandon clark
This shows how summer league means nothing
RIP Brandon Clarke you will be missed 💔
RIP BRANDON CLARKE
Wow, most of these guys are not even an afterthought anymore.
yaxel is pushing 30
Rip
I though LeBron won the 2020 summer league MVP😂
Besides Josh hart these guys suck, maybe it’s time to stop keeping that stat
It's a subtle touch, but it was very classy of you to turn down the background music when talking about Brandon Clarke. Shout out to you 💪🏿
If you told me in 2017 that lonzo ball would be out the league in less than 10 years I probably would think your smoking
Shout out to the cut off in music. RIP Clarke 👑
Why they all kinda look like super stars
Sad for lonzo he shoots 3s so well when he was in college/highschool after the knee issue feom40% to 20%
Davion Mitchell!! Super glad he's a Heat
so yaxels ceiling is josh hart? 😭
Yax will be all rookie nba 1st or 2nd team
What’s the point of a summer league MVP?
The NBA is just throwing awards at players so people can build up a resume
May he Forever Rest In Peace ❤
RIP Brandon Clarke
Tyus Jones is a Nugget
R.I.P. Brandon Clarke.
Rip Brandon Clarke
Rip Brandon Clark
Yaxel would win a ring and a mvp right after the summer league mvp
RIP BC and also if you merge the 2021 guys you have a borderline top 10 player in the league
Rip Brandon Clarke 🕊️
Do you have one for the G League MVPs?
That play by anderson was a obvious hook
respect for turning off the background music for BClarke
Sooo if you win summer league MVP, you’re probably gunna end up being a role player.
rip brandon clarke
Obviously, the best player is not chosen for that award.
Ball did not have knee issues. He did not want to play.
Appreciate you for cutting the music when mentioning Brandon Clarke. 🙏
God bless Brandon Clarke and his family ❤🙏🏽
