There are a lot of eyes on the new arrivals and second-chance hopefuls. There are teams still looking to unearth some hidden gems and try out some new rotation combos. With some of the bigger match-ups done and dusted and news that no.1 draft pick AJ Dybantsa is being shut down the rest of Summer League after two games, here’s 14 players that have caught our eye.What Can We Learn From AJ Dybantsa’s Two GamesAJ Dybantsa opened with 27 points, seven rebounds and two steals in the showdown win over Darryn Peterson's Jazz. In Game 2, he then shot 23 against the Kings before the Wizards wrapped him up in cotton wool and shut him down. No surprises there. During his brief Summer League stint he shot 39.4 percent from the field and only made one triple from 11 attempts. Even though the sample is small and there were signs of fatigue, the Wizards saw enough playmaking. The real test begins in October.How Good Can Allen Graves Be For the Raptors?Allen Graves’ debut went better than anyone expected: 22 points on 9-for-16 shooting, 13 rebounds. It also included 3-for-8 from three. That kind of two-way versatility should get Raptors fans excited. But don’t expect a starting role out as soon as the season kicks off. Traditionally, head coach Darko Rajakovic makes rookies earn their minutes. Graves could be a bench role player by midseason where he’ll be able to slot in next to Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles. Are The Warriors Building Their Deepest Bench in YearsGolden State opened their Summer League campaign winning by a combined 36 points in the first two games. Leading the way is Yaxel Lendeborg, averaging 17.5-points and was a plus-26 on debut. This means more when you factor in Jimmy Butler is still in ACL recovery and Moses Moody has a ruptured patellar tendon. There’s a real chance Lendeborg could earn starters minutes. Also grabbing the attention of coaches are undrafted Gonzaga big Graham Ike and second-year guard Will Richard, both of whom have shown real shooting improvement in Vegas. With the Warriors thin on wing rotation, at least one of these three is walking into real minutes come October.MORE FOR YOUCan Yang Hansen’s Summer League Translate To The NBAYang Hansen's opener was rough. He managed 12 points and nine rebounds, but got outmuscled by Phoenix's Khaman Maluach and leaked a string of uncontested looks on defense. The good news, he bounced back though with arguably his best game as a pro: an 18-point, 10-rebound, five-assist double-double, dominating the glass and emerging as a playmaker. The problem for Hansen is that Portland just handed Robert Williams III a three-year, $44 million extension to back up Donovan Clingan who is trending up. That said, for a player who spent most of his rookie year in the G League, he’s shown real progress at Summer League. The Caleb Wilson and Cam Boozer Hype Is RealESPN’s Jamal Collier said Caleb Wilson gives the Bulls a direction they haven’t had recently. There was a lot to like about his confidence, shooting 35 points (12-from-21) on debut. So far he’s averaging 24.3 points, seven rebounds. Wilson steps into a Bulls roster that keeps losing in the play-in round. So there's a real opportunity for him in Chicago to start right away. Cam Boozer was impressive too, with 23 points and 21 points across his first two games, and 47 percent three-point shooting (in the latter match). He arrives as the new face of a Memphis rebuild and will no doubt be unleashed from the start. Former Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas has praised Boozer’s game, saying he makes his teammates "so much better" and has the kind of impact that shows up beyond the box score.Who is Willing To Take A Chance on Kobe BufkinThis season Kobe Bufkin is battling for a solid role on what will be his fourth team in three years. In his first run with the Pelicans he dropped 30 points, surprisingly nailing five-of-nine three-pointers — a big shift from his 21 percent average over three years in the NBA. Against Charlotte, he shot 19 points with five assists and four steals. He also hit a four-point play. The evidence is there. He’s a pure shooter and can add value. It’s just a matter of whether or not this output is sustainable come October and who has room and minutes for him on their roster. The Other Names Turning Heads in VegasKeaton Wagler bounced back from a brutal 1-for-7 debut against the Kings with 23 points and four triples in the Utah blowout. The gap between his best and worst is a gulf for a top-five pick, but the talent is there. The Clippers will be hoping his adjustment to the physical NBA game is settled by late October.Khaman Maluach, the 7-foot-1 centre for Phoenix who is still 19-years-old, is making some noise after dropping three consecutive double-doubles. He’s full of intrigue. With Mark Williams as the no.1 big at the Suns, who has a history of being injured, maybe there’s a path for Maluach toward meaningful minutes as the season progresses. He’s one to watch at training camp. Baba Miller, a 6'11" second-rounder, looked strong and efficient over the weekend. He scored in double figures in back-to-back games: 12 points, five rebounds; then 15 points, five rebounds, and two assists on 5-of-7 shooting from the field. Miller’s path to real minutes is blocked by a healthy trio of Rui Hachimura, Brandon Ingram and Derrick Jones Jr. But if he can prove to be a consistent shooting force – like he’s shown in Summer League – he could work his way into the rotation. Johni Broome could have huge appeal this year after carrying the Sixers through the early part of Summer League. The 23-year old dropped 19 points and 13 rebounds on the Pistons. Then 23 points and 11 rebounds on Indiana. Injuries set him back last year. Time will tell if these latest scores are significant improvements. Even if he’s improved, Broome still needs to work his way into a crowded frontcourt full of bigs. Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu is back from three years in European pro leagues. The 26-year-old journeyman caught our eye when he put up 16 points on 7-for-8 shooting for Dallas. He’s no doubt a flier who has huge athletic appeal, but might find it tough to crack the rotation. There's a two-way spot he could grab during training camp which would be a nice payoff for someone who spent three years grinding it out overseas.
