Acuff recorded 19 points (6-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block in 28 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

The No. 7 overall pick showed flashes of the dynamic shot creation and playmaking that made him a lottery selection, overcoming an inefficient shooting night by setting up teammates and making an impact on both ends of the floor. With the Kings in the early stages of a rebuild, he's in a great spot for fantasy appeal right away.

Karaban went scoreless (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt) with two rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

Although the former UConn standout missed all six of his field-goal attempts, he finished with a team-best plus-12 and continued to provide solid positional defense. He wasn't even supposed to be ready in time for this game due to an ankle sprain, so it's not worth overreacting to his scoreless outing.

Clifford supplied 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

Sacramento's first-round pick flashed the polished two-way game that made him one of the most NBA-ready prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft. With DeMar DeRozan moving on, Clifford has a much bigger path to minutes on the wings.

Cardwell registered 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

The Auburn product made an immediate impact around the rim, finishing efficiently while falling one rebound shy of a double-double. After a standout rookie campaign in 2025-26, Cardwell will make a serious push for a rotation role ahead of Opening Night, especially if the Kings move on from Domantas Sabonis.

Mogbo posted 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

Mogbo is coming off two seasons in Toronto, during which he primarily featured for their G League affiliate. The Kings signed him to a two-way contract July 1, and he's expected to have a prominent role with the Stockton Kings early on.

Wagler logged seven points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League loss to Sacramento.

The No. 5 overall pick couldn't get his jumper going but continued to receive plenty of on-ball opportunities as the Clippers prioritized his development. With the Clippers moving on from Kawhi Leonard, Wagler has the opportunity to start Opening Night next to Darius Garland.

Miller totaled 12 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 27 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League loss to Sacramento.

The rookie second-round forward showcased his intriguing two-way upside, finishing efficiently while swatting a game-high three shots. There is a lot of competition for minutes in the frontcourt in Los Angeles, but Miller certainly has the talent to carve out a role.

Christie posted 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes in Thursday's Summer League loss to the Kings.

Entering his third NBA season, Christie was one of the Clippers' most productive players Thursday, leading the club in both scoring and rebounding while continuing to show improved confidence attacking off the dribble rather than settling exclusively for perimeter jumpers. Across his first two regular seasons in Los Angeles, he averaged just 7.9 minutes per contest.

Sanders totaled 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and four steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League loss to Sacramento.

The second-year guard struggled to find his perimeter shot but made his presence felt defensively, tying for the game high with four steals. Sanders agreed to a four-year, $11.2 million deal with the Clippers back in June but is facing an uphill battle for minutes in the backcourt.

Sharp (undisclosed) supplied 21 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four steals and two rebounds across 26 minutes in Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

Sharp was held out of Monday's California Classic win over the Bucks but returned to action in the Kings' Las Vegas Summer League opener. The 2026 second-rounder led all players in scoring while coming off the bench Thursday. Additionally, he tied the game-high mark in steals.
