How did former Arizona Wildcats, ASU Sun Devils and GCU ‘Lopes perform in NBA Summer League?

The final NBA Summer League games will be played Sunday in Las Vegas, wrapping up a chance for young prospects with potential to show their skill against similar competition.

Koa Peat’s four games with the Phoenix Suns was arguably the best Vegas run of any of the former Arizona Wildcats, ASU Sun Devils or Grand Canyon ‘Lopes, though his former teammate and fellow first-round pick Brayden Burries made his own case.

Burries had a later start than Peat, as his Milwaukee Bucks contract was not signed until after their first game. He made his mark once inserted, showing off elite playmaking for a 2-guard with the strong shot creation he showed with the Wildcats.

Former ASU center Jayden Quaintance, who finished his college career at Kentucky, is arguably the most intriguing young NBA prospect to come through either university, especially when considering his potential fit alongside Victor Wembanyama on the San Antonio Spurs.

But coming off tearing his ACL and meniscus in his last game as a Sun Devil before playing just four games for Kentucky, San Antonio determined these games were not worth the risk and that he’d undergo a cleanup procedure instead.

Here’s a look at who did suit up:

Former in-state college standouts in NBA Summer League

Arizona Wildcats

Carter Bryant (San Antonio Spurs) — 15.5 points (47.8 FG%/33.3 3P%/80 FT%), two rebounds and two blocks per game (23.6 minutes in two games)

It was limited action for Bryant, who played 22 minutes for San Antonio in the NBA Finals. He’ll likely slide into a top bench wing role for the Spurs after playing 71 games (11.5 minutes per contest) as a rookie.

Brayden Burries (Milwaukee Bucks) — 23.5 points (50%/36.4%/66.7%), 4.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists (0.8 turnovers) and two steals per game (27.1 minutes in four games)

With Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the picture, Burries’ biggest obstacles to ball-handling opportunities will be Tyler Herro and Ryan Rollins. If his Summer League run is any indication, the Bucks have found a real piece in the former Wildcat.

Koa Peat (Phoenix Suns) — 16.8 points (51%/0-for-2 from 3/62.5%), 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists (three turnovers) and 1.5 steals per game (27.2 minutes in four games)

His mid-range creation was impressive in flashes, but there are still very real concerns with his outside shot. There also isn’t an obvious path to regular minutes for Phoenix, which could slow his development.

Jaden Bradley (Toronto Raptors) — Six points (29.6%/0-for-2 from 3/72.7%), 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists (3.3 turnovers) per game (19.9 minutes in four games)

Bradley is on the hook for Toronto with a two-way contract that will allow him to play up to 50 games with Toronto, able to spend the rest of his time developing with G League affiliate Raptors 905. The Summer Raptors play their final game in Vegas at 3:30 p.m. MST Sunday.

Tobe Awaka (Chicago Bulls) — 6.8 points (77.8%/no 3-point attempts/50%), 6.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game (21.2 minutes in five games)

Awaka is on a two-way deal with the Bulls after going undrafted, for whom he can provide his world-class rebounding that saw him average 3.2 boards on the offensive end in Vegas.

Anthony Dell’Orso (Sacramento Kings) — 3.5 points (50%/33.3%/no FTA) and 1.5 assists per game (9.6 minutes in two games)

Dell’Orso does not yet have an NBA contract after going undrafted.

Henri Veesaar (Atlanta Hawks) — 10.2 points (46.2%/38.9%/57.1%), 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists (2.4 turnovers) and 1.4 blocks per game (20.4 minutes in five games)

The former Wildcat who finished his college career with North Carolina gave Atlanta some flashes to get excited about after being picked 52nd overall in the 2026 NBA Draft.

ASU Sun Devils

Basheer Jihad (Detroit Pistons) — Four points (58.3%/0-for-3 from 3/25%), 2.3 rebounds, one steal and one block per game (11.9 minutes in four games)

After averaging 11.1 points and 5.6 rebounds for the Atlanta Hawks’ G League affiliate last season, Jihad is working to stick around in the NBA system. He had 10 points on five shots with two blocks in the Summer Pistons’ opener.

Duke Brennan (Brooklyn Nets) — Zero points (0-for-1/no 3-point attempts/0-for-1), two rebounds and 0.5 assists per game (3.5 minutes in two games)

The former ASU big man who also suited up for Grand Canyon University before finishing his college career — for now — at Villanova is among dozens of players filing lawsuits in search of NCAA eligibility after it passed its age-based eligibility rule.

The Summer Nets face the Oklahoma City Thunder at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in their final Vegas game.

GCU ‘Lopes

Gabe McGlothan (Indiana Pacers) — 8.8 points (40.6%/33.3%/77.8%), four rebounds and 1.6 steals per game (17.8 minutes in five games)

McGlothan has signed a few exhibit-10 and 10-day contracts with the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers to this point, and he flashed for the Summer Pacers with 12 points in 18 minutes for his best contest.

Tyon Grant-Foster (San Antonio Spurs) — 0.7 points (20%/0-for-3 from 3/no free-throw attempts) and one rebound per game (3.5 minutes in three games)

The former WAC Player of the Year for GCU got his first taste of NBA action after getting medically cleared. He has an implanted defibrillator, having suffered cardiac arrest on two separate occasions related to on-court incidents.
