Brooklyn Nets forward Jalen Wilson was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2024 Summer League. Wilson averaged 21.8 points and 4.6 rebounds. He also shot 47.3% from the field and 55.0% from behind the arc. Although the 23-year-old didn't see the floor often as a rookie, that's expected to change in 2024-25. With the Nets in rebuilding mode, Wilson could also find his way into the starting lineup if the team parts ways with Cameron Johnson, a move that's been rumored for months.
