Five players to keep an eye on as NBA Summer League gets into full swing.

The 2022 NBA Summer League is officially underway. As it gets into full swing, we look at five players that are worthy of keeping an eye on.

5. Jaden Hardy, G, Dallas Mavericks

The once high school sensation and guaranteed NBA star, now drafted in the second round, 37th overall, is a fun player to watch. Jaden Hardy is very talented, as he can score from all levels and has a solid three-point shot.

Even though he is box office entertainment, his efficiency was poor in the G-League with the Ignite; he averaged 3.5 turnovers per game and .351/.269/.882 shooting. Hardy struggles on defense, but if he can improve his efficiency and push harder on defense, he will be a steal for the Mavericks and take over the shooting guard role.

Many things need to go right for Hardy, but he will be entertaining, nonetheless.
