Day 2 in Las Vegas brought huge performances, with many prospects hungry to compete to showcase their versatility at the NBA 2K26 Summer League.
Here are the standouts from Day 2 of Las Vegas with rookies and returning players rounding out the list:
Kobe Bufkin, Atlanta Hawks
Nobody made use of the free-throw line like Kobe Bufkin in a 105-98 win against the Heat. Bufkin led all scorers with 29 points, and 15 of those points came at the charity stripe.
Bufkin is a downhill guard who has no problem using his athleticism to draw fouls around the rim. Bufkin shot 100% from line, also totaling three rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Bufkin is going into his third season in the NBA, but injuries have limited Bufkin to only 27 games in two seasons. Bufkins’ game high, propelled the Hawks to a late fourth quarter win.
Liam McNeeley, Charlotte Hornets
Coming off the bench, McNeeley led the Hornets in scoring and rebounding totaling 22 points and 12 rebounds. McNeeley also showed his range, shooting 3-for-5 from beyond the arc while leading the Hornets to a 111-105 win against the Jazz. McNeeley is a two-way player, an aggressive defender at 6-foot-7, whose skill sets were on full display in his Summer League debut.
Kyle Filipowski, Utah Jazz
Despite the loss, Filipowski’s talent was on full display, dropping an NBA 2K26 Summer League high (so far!) in Utah’s 111-105 loss, totaling 32 points shooting 3-for-7 from beyond the arc.
He also showed his rebounding and playmaking ability adding six rebounds, and five assists. After Filipowski’s 20-point performances in Salt Lake, he was selected as one of the 15 players to watch coming into Las Vegas. Thus far, he has exceeded expectations going into his sophomore season.
AJ Lawson, Toronto Raptors
Lawson came off the bench firing hot from beyond the arc, shooting 4-for-8 from 3. Lawson totaled 22 points, six rebounds and two steals in the 116-72 win against the Bulls. Lawson led all scorers in points, showing his poise around the rim. The 6-foot-6 guard showed his versatility finishing inside and knocked down shots in rhythm, clearly the hot hand for Toronto tonight.
Ron Holland II, Detroit Pistons
Holland II’s game-high 28-point, 11-rebound double-double led the Pistons to a 104-86 win against the Knicks. Holland took over in the third quarter, scoring 18 of his 28 points and knocking down all three of his 3-pointers. Holland II revealed many sides to his game, also driving downhill to make plays around the cup.
Reed Sheppard, Houston Rockets
Despite the Rockets’ 95-92 loss, Reed Sheppard led all scorers with 28 points, showcasing his sharp shooting ability from beyond the arc. Sheppard shot 40.0% from 3-point range on 15 attempts while also collecting eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and three blocks. Sheppard scored 13 of his 28 points in the third quarter, and though he went scoreless in the fourth, the second-year guard seems primed to fulfill a bigger role on the Rockets this season.
