Over the next few weeks, the Texas Longhorns will be well-represented in the NBA Summer League. Three former players, Max Abmas, Timmy Allen, and Dylan Disu, will have an opportunity to shine on the national stage and show why they belong in the NBA.
Of the three, Allen is the only one with NBA experience. Last season, the talented forward appeared in 30 games for the Memphis Hustle, averaging 9.9 points and 3.4 rebounds a game. He also appeared in five games for the Grizzlies, averaging 2.6 points per game in his first taste of NBA action. Allen will be looking to build on his success as the Grizzlies evaluate if he can be a future piece.
After signing with the Utah Jazz, Ambas will get to show why he was a valuable piece for the Longhorns. During the 2023-2024 campaign, he led Texas in scoring, averaging 16.8 points per game. He also made history, tying the UT single-season record for most three-pointers made. Due to his play, Ambas earned All-Big 12 First Team honors.
Like Ambas, Disu signed as an undrafted free agent. The Raptors hope he can be a scoring threat and make an impact defensively like he did at Texas. In his final year in Austin, Disu was second on the team in scoring and third in blocks. Due to his play, the former Longhorns forward was named the Big 12’s Most Improved Player.
While Disu will have to wait to make his summer league debut, Abmas and Allen have already gotten a head start. They were both scheduled to participate in the Salt Lake City Summer League, which runs from July 8 to 10. All NBA teams will compete in the NBA 2K25 Summer League, which runs from July 12 to July 22
