4. Nate Williams Jr.

Williams Jr. has been around the Rockets for a couple of years now. He tends to perform well in Summer League, but he's struggled to find his way with the main roster.

Perhaps that largely owes to the talent the Rockets have accumulated. That said, Williams Jr. does have some limitations. He tends to play outside of the team's construct. Still, he was solid in Summer League this year.

Williams Jr. averaged 13.2 points per game. His efficiency was mediocre, shooting 40.3% from the field and 31.3% from deep. Still, he got Houston a bucket when his number was called.

Did he earn a nod with the main roster? That feels unlikely. The bar is exceedingly high after making so many selections in the first round of the NBA Draft. Still, he was among the Rockets' better players in this year's Summer League.
