Many former ACC players will partake in the 2024 NBA Summer League. However, who should we pay close attention to as the action unfolds? The NBA Summer League<\/a> is a great opportunity for rookies<\/a> to showcase their talent. Additionally, second year players or guys who struggle to crack their team\u2019s rotation can get a confidence boost. \u00a0With all that said, let\u2019s discuss who we should keep an eye on as far as ACC players go.<\/p>\n

ACC Players to Keep an Eye On in NBA Summer League<\/h2>\n

Terquavion Smith<\/h4>\n

Terquavion Smith<\/a> had an outstanding season in the NBA G-League last year. He was an integral part of the Delaware Blue Coats offense, boasting the third highest usage percentage in the G-league with 31%. Smith was also fifth in scoring with 23.1 points per game, and made the 2023-24 NBA G-League All-Rookie Team. After going undrafted in 2023, the guard from NC State was on a two-way contract. Unfortunately, Philadelphia declined to make a qualifying offer, making him a free agent. At just 21 years of age, he still has plenty of great basketball left in him and tons of upside. If he plays well enough this summer, he\u2019ll surely get some contract offers.<\/p>\n
