Vegas has plenty of attractions but now they include the NBA Summer League and these are the five hottest teams on the strip fans need to check out.

With LeBron James joining the Lakers, and other big names staying put, NBA free agency seemed to slow down as soon as it got started.

The NBA calendar has very few slow periods, however. And next up is the Summer League.

While a few teams got started on Monday in Salt Lake City and Sacramento, the main event is the Las Vegas Summer League, which begins Friday. For the first time in history, all 30 teams will be participating in the same Summer League.

Teams will play three round-robin games, followed by a double elimination tournament. Each team is guaranteed five games.

The main attraction of the Summer League is the opportunity to see the most recent top draft picks as NBA players for the first time. DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, Jaren Jackson, Jr. and Trae Young will all be in action.

If you’re looking to watch some of the action, and want to see the teams with the most relevant young talent, this is your guide. All of these teams are rebuilding, but have talented young cores that could blossom into playoff teams two or three years down the line.
