Зуны лигийн тэмцээнд оролцож буй Сент Жонсын төгсөгчид NBA-ийн багуудын бүрэлдэхүүнд багтан өөрсдийгөө таниулахаар бэлтгэж байна.
Энэ жилийн NBA-ийн зуны лигт Сент Жонсын их сургуулийн найман тоглогч оролцож байгаа нь түүхэн дэх хамгийн өргөн бүрэлдэхүүн боллоо. 2026 оны драфтын эхний шатанд сонгогдсон Зуби Эжиофор (Атланта Хоукс), Диллон Митчелл (Бостон Сэлтикс), Брайс Хопкинс (Денвер Наггетс) нар гол анхаарлын төвд байна. Тэднээс гадна Озиях Селлерс, Кадари Ричмонд, Дэйвон Смит, Аарон Скотт болон Крис Ледлум нар NBA-ийн гэрээ байгуулах зорилгоор талбайд гарах юм.
Солт Лэйк Ситигийн зуны лигийн үеэр Зуби Эжиофор 13.5 оноо, 13.0 самбараас бөмбөг авалт дундажилж, Оклахома Сити Тандерын эсрэг 19 points, 15 rebounds бүхий double-double үзүүлэлтээр гайхалтай тоглолтыг үзүүлсэн. Мөн Денвер Наггетсын Брайс Хопкинс бэлтгэлийн үеэр хүчирхэг тохолт хийж ур чадвараа харуулсан бол Дэйвон Смит Калифорнийн сонгомол тэмцээнд 11.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists гэсэн үзүүлэлттэй тоглолоо.
Кадари Ричмонд нь өмнө нь Вашингтон Визардсын бүрэлдэхүүнд 10 хоногийн гэрээгээр тоглож байсан туршлагатай тоглогч юм. Тэрээр 8.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists дундажлаж байсан бол Крис Ледлум, Аарон Скотт, Озиях Селлерс нар өөрсдийн багтаа байр сууриа олохын төлөө Лас Вегаст өрсөлдөнө. Зуны лигийн тоглолтууд долдугаар сарын 9-нөөс 19-ний хооронд үргэлжилнэ.

This year’s NBA Summer League may be its most anticipated iteration for St. John’s basketball fans. Eight former Red Storm players will descend on Las Vegas hoping to make a strong impression for their respective teams, perhaps the largest contingent of Johnnies since the tournament began.
The octet of Johnnies features a trio of 2026 NBA draft selections in Zuby Ejiofor (Atlanta Hawks), Dillon Mitchell (Boston Celtics), and Bryce Hopkins (Denver Nuggets), as well as undrafted alumni like Oziyah Sellers (New York Knicks), Kadary Richmond (Washington Wizards), Deivon Smith (Golden State Warriors), Aaron Scott (Brooklyn Nets), and Chris Ledlum (Houston Rockets) who are all seeking to take the next step toward an NBA roster spot.
Here is how to follow all these players throughout the Summer League, which runs from Thursday, July 9 to Sunday, July 19. All game times are Eastern, and any matchups in which St. John’s players are rostered on both teams will be listed with a hash sign (#).
Zuby Ejiofor, Atlanta Hawks
After snapping St. John’s’ 11-year draftless drought when he was selected in the first round with the 23rd overall pick by the Hawks, Zuby Ejiofor is already showing Atlanta that they made the right choice. The reigning Big East Player of the Year averaged 13.5 points and a tournament-best 13.0 rebounds during the Salt Lake City Summer League event, and outplayed first-round pick Aday Mara when he posted a 19-point, 15-rebound double-double in a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Block off your calendar for any plans on July 13 when Zuby Ejiofor takes on his former frontcourt mate Dillon Mitchell.

Dillon Mitchell, Boston Celtics
Mitchell was taken with the 40th overall selection in the 2026 NBA draft and should sign with the Celtics on a two-way deal as the team begins its post-Jaylen Brown era. He is expected to start alongside fellow 2026 selection Chris Cenac, Jr. and promising wing prospect Hugo Gonzalez. Also joining Mitchell is Day Day Thomas, who he was teammates with at Cincinnati during the 2024-25 season.

Bryce Hopkins, Denver Nuggets
Hopkins rounded out the hat trick of St. John’s draft picks when he was picked with the 49th overall selection by the Denver Nuggets, and is also a two-way deal candidate. The two-time All-Big East selection caught attention at the Nuggets’ Summer League practice on Monday when he pulled off a posterizing dunk over the taller Osayi Osifo.

Oziyah Sellers, New York Knicks
Following his first and only season at St. John’s, Oziyah Sellers isn’t done representing the Big Apple. The sharpshooting guard inked a Summer League deal with the defending NBA champion New York Knicks, with the hopes he can put on a great performance in Las Vegas and parlay that into an Exhibit 10 or a two-way contract in the league.

Kadary Richmond, Washington Wizards
Richmond is the only Red Storm alum competing in this year’s NBA Summer League who has already spent time in the league. After graduation last year, Richmond signed a G-League deal with the Washington Wizards’ affiliate Capital City Go-Go, and performed well enough to earn a 10-day contract with the Wizards in February. The Brooklyn native averaged 8.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in only three appearances in the NBA before he returned to the G-League once his 10-day deal expired.

Deivon Smith, Golden State Warriors
Smith is appearing in his second Summer League with as many teams. He only played in two games with his hometown Atlanta Hawks in last year’s tournament, but already received more playing time with the Golden State Warriors during the California Classic Summer League last week, recording 11.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in three games and even showing his bounce in a game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Aaron Scott, Brooklyn Nets
Like Smith, Aaron Scott is also playing for his second team in the Summer League. The versatile defensive wing only had a cup of coffee with the Celtics in last year’s Summer League, but could be in line for a larger role with the Nets this year. He’s averaged 7.0 points and 5.5 rebounds coming off the bench in two games during the California Classic Summer League.

Chris Ledlum, Houston Rockets
This will be Ledlum’s second consecutive year of playing with the Rockets in the Summer League. The Brooklyn native totaled 7.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game in five games in last year’s tournament, and is hoping a stronger performance can earn him a deal to remain stateside. Ledlum spent the first two seasons of his professional career playing overseas in France and Germany.
