Dikembe Dixson, UIC
Dikembe Dixson (@Ddixson_35) from UIC will play Summer League with the Miami Heat. He is such a prototype player for the HEAT.
— Steve Kyler (@stevekylerNBA) June 22, 2018
Dixson has never lacked confidence and that will make him a fun prospect to watch this summer. And if he cracks an NBA roster, watch out. He was the mid-major version of Joel Embiid on Twitter, and we were here for it . Tell me you don’t want this guy on your team:
I'm done arguing about it every team in the league can put their best player on me and imma show you why I got that FOY
— Dikembe Dixson (@Ddixson_35) July 19, 2017
Coming back from injury, Dixson averaged 14 a game for the Flames and played between 38 and 40 minutes virtually every night.

Kendrick Nunn, Oakland
Undrafted free agent Kendrick Nunn has agreed to a partially guaranteed deal with the Golden State Warriors, per ESPN sources. Nunn was the NCAA’s second-leading scorer last season at Oakland.
— Ian Begley (@IanBegley) June 22, 2018
Oakland wasn’t all that great last year, but Nunn certainly was. As a senior transfer from Illinois, Nunn was the nation’s second-leading scorer (25.9 points per game) behind only Trae Young and made the second-most threes of anybody in the country. He scored 30-or-more points 11 times in 2017-18, including a stretch of three straight games early in conference play. With Golden State, Nunn will be a bucket-getter on a team of bucket-getters. For more on Nunn, check out Ridiculous Upside, which had a great scouting report on him.
