If you like basketball, summer league is always a fun thing to watch. Most of the players are going all out to put food on the table; there aren’t many egomaniac superstars coasting through a contest. It’s just good, hard fought, competitive basketball — even though the sloppy play and unending fouls can ruin the rhythm at times.

Who were the best players of the 2010 NBA Summer League? Here’s a look at a few players who stood out:

J.J. Hickson, Cleveland Cavaliers
When teams talked to the Cavs last season at the trade deadline, the player they wanted was J.J. Hickson. This young forward can score and rebound while also playing with a boundless amount of energy. With LeBron James in South Beach, expect Hickson to get more minutes.

DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento Kings
DeMarcus Cousins had his issues — he averaged 5.5 fouls and 5.2 turnovers per game — but he also looked very good at times. He scored (17.8 points per game), rebounded (11.5 boards) and passed the ball (2.8 assists). He has to mature a lot but Cousins should be a force in the NBA.

Reggie Williams, Golden State Warriors
The undrafted Reggie Williams can’t run and can’t jump but there is one thing he can do: score the ball. At VMI, he led the nation in scoring. Last year in the NBA, Williams showed he can score on the professional level. In summer league, Williams averaged 22.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists over the course of five games.

John Wall, Washington Wizards
John Wall is the favorite to win the MVP of summer league. The number one overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, Wall averaged 23.5 points, 7.8 assists and 4 rebounds per game. He struggled a bit shooting the ball but his blinding speed and great passing ability stood out and showed why he’s a star in the making.
