Grammy Award-winning musician and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson sat courtside with Kings owner Vivek Ranadive during a Las Vegas Summer League game earlier this month. Apparently, they had business to discuss.
11. New York: Ousmane Diegn, G-F, 6-10, 19, NZ Breakers
The French wing is considered a project with tons of potential. Showed great improvement in his play in Australia’s NBL last season. (His draft rights reportedly traded to Oklahoma City.)
A prototypical international wing, this Italian can shoot from long range and score in the open court. Adequate defender and rebounder. (Draft rights traded to Detroit for Jerami Grant.)
39. Cleveland (from San Antonio): Khalifa Diop, C, 6-11, 20, Gran Canaria
This Sengalese big man projects as a shot-blocking rim protector with the physicality to play in the NBA.
45. Charlotte: Josh Minott, SF, 6-8, 20, Memphis
A smooth one-and-done wing with leaping ability who only shot 14.3% from deep (2 of 14). Needs to improve range and defense.
Sean Meagher
46. Detroit (from Brooklyn): Ismael Kamagate, C, 6-11, 21, Paris Basketball
This French big man has the athleticism and physicality to be a rim-running center who can also protect the basket. A bit of a project with upside.
