Caleb Wilson set the tone for the NBA's newest draft class, exploding for 35 points on 5-of-7 shooting from three-point range in his Summer League debut, part of a night in which all four of the 2026 draft's top picks announced themselves with strong stat lines.

What happened

Wilson topped the group and every scorer on the night, finishing with 35 points to go with 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks. AJ Dybantsa followed with 27 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals in his own debut. Darryn Peterson chipped in 24 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, while Cameron Boozer rounded out the group with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Why it matters

The debuts extend a summer-long measuring stick for the draft's headline names, coming a day after Dybantsa outscored Peterson in a head-to-head matchup in Las Vegas. Wilson's 35-point, seven-three outing stood as the top individual scoring mark among the four on the night, adding another data point to how the rookie class is being sized up against one another early.

By the numbers

Caleb Wilson: 35 PTS, 5 REB, 2 STL, 3 BLK, 7 3PM. AJ Dybantsa: 27 PTS, 7 REB, 2 STL. Darryn Peterson: 24 PTS, 3 REB, 3 AST. Cameron Boozer: 23 PTS, 6 REB, 4 AST.

What's next

Summer League action continues in Las Vegas, where each of the four is expected to see more minutes as teams evaluate their rookies ahead of training camps.
