Tristan da Silva did a little bit of everything for the Orlando Magic in the opening game of the NBA 2K25 Summer League in Las Vegas.
ORLANDO — Tristan da Silva's experience and versatility made him one of the safer players entering the 2024 NBA Draft regardless of the team that drafted him.
"It was a good start," da Silva said of his performance. "There's always room for improvement. I felt like it was a good starting point, especially defensively I felt like I've done a couple of really good things and then offensively, just keeping the flow going getting some easy looks." Magic summer league coach Lionel Chalmers also lauded da Silva's versatility and his impact on the team.
On a team with multiple ball-handlers like Jalen Suggs, Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Black, da Silva will have to thrive without the ball in his hands and knock down shots if he's going to see playing time in his rookie season. Friday was a small sample size, but the things that made da Silva a coveted pick carried into his summer league debut, and building on that can pave the way for him to be an important player for Orlando in his rookie season.
