Charles Bassey was a surprise Celtics signing for Summer League as he impressed in his three games in Las Vegas.

Now that summer league is concluding and the NBA officially begins its dark period, the stars from Las Vegas must be acknowledged because some unexpected players made big splashes.

Clifford looks NBA-ready as a 23-year-old, showcasing poise and an all-around arsenal that allows him to get to his spots at will. The guard-forward is a tremendous rebounder for his size (6-foot-5), and his tight handle and court vision could help provide additional playmaking in Sacramento’s second unit.
