Players to watch: The Charlotte Hornets have gotten 15-plus points out of swingman P.J. Hairston in the last five summer league outings, and he went for 15 on the dot Saturday in the quarterfinals. Fellow rookie Noah Vonleh has put up double-doubles in three of the last five games. Donatas Motiejunas has led the Houston Rockets in the past two games, putting in double-doubles. Motiejunas, who scored 19 and grabbed 13 boards in a win over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday, got help from forward Robert Covington, point guard Isaiah Canaan and rookie guard Nick Johnson.
Players to watch: It's been all about balance for the Sacramento Kings, who haven't relied on guard Ben McLemore to be anything but efficient. He's averaged a modest 14.6 points per game but on 52 percent shooting over the course of the Kings' five games. McLemore has gotten enough help from rookie Nik Stauskas, guards Ray McCallum and MarShon Brooks, plus forward Quincy Acy. The Washington Wizards, meanwhile, have been more of a two-man show. Second-year pro Glen Rice Jr. is coming off a huge 36-point game that included six three-point makes and 13 trips to the foul line. Forward Otto Porter scored 27 on Saturday as the Wizards dropped the San Antonio Spurs, and he's averaged 19.6 points and six boards per game this past week in Las Vegas.
