The New York Knicks have begun 2018 NBA Summer League play in Las Vegas. Here are five players to keep an eye on in Sin City.

During a rebuilding process like the one the New York Knicks are currently in, one of the most exciting things is seeing younger players on the court. New York has a number of intriguing young players, and the first chance we’re getting to see some of them is the NBA Summer League.

The Las Vegas Summer League has turned into a huge event. It has reached new heights this year, as all 30 NBA teams are participating. This is the first time since 2015 that the Knicks will be sending a team to Vegas; they spent the past two years playing in the now-defunct Orlando Summer League.

Being in Las Vegas, the Knicks will be playing at least five games. Three preliminary games are played before teams are putting into a seeded bracket. After that, the Knicks will play at least two more games. They can play up to eight games if they advance in the seeded bracket.

This is the first time that Knicks fans can see some of their young guys in game action. They will also get to see some big-name players from around the league.

The Knicks haven’t had great performances during the Summer League in recent seasons, but this is a talented roster. Here are the five Knicks that are worth tuning in to see in Las Vegas.
