The NBA Summer League is now in full effect, and Ricky Council IV and Nick Smith Jr. both got their first action on Monday night.

Council IV, who signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers after the draft concluded, had 11 points and six rebounds, but his team lost 94-92 to the Memphis Grizzlies.

He also had this highlight dunk, which Razorback fans got very accustomed to seeing last season.

Smith Jr. had 12 points on 5 of 14 shooting for the Charlotte Hornets after he was one of their first round selections two weeks ago.

He was second on the team in scoring behind Alabama’s Brandon Miller, who had 18.

His three assists were tied for a team-high, but he also had four turnovers in 29 minutes as the Hornets lost 98-77 to the Spurs.

Jaylin Williams was also playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder, who defeated the Jazz 95-85.

Williams was chairman of the boards, pulling down 13 while contributing 8 points and three assists in 28 minutes.
