Sacramento Kings rookie Nique Clifford was among the players selected to the 2025 NBA All-Summer League first team for games played in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 24th pick helped the Kings advance to the championship game on Monday before falling to the Charlotte Hornets. He emerged as the top performer among all first-year players, according to one metric used by HoopsHype.
Joining Clifford on the first team were 2025 NBA Summer League MVP and Utah Jazz forward Kyle Filipowski, San Antonio Spurs guard David Jones Garcia, LA Clippers guard Jordan Miller and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Terrence Shannon Jr.
Kings forward Isaac Jones, the top performer by HoopsHype, headlined the second team announced on Tuesday, along with Detroit Pistons guard Ron Holland II, Hornets players Kon Knueppel and KJ Simpson, and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell.
Knueppel was named MVP of the championship game, guiding the Hornets to an 83-78 win to claim their first title in Sin City. He finished with 21 points, five rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes.
