The fourth day of the Orlando Summer League saw the Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, and Philadelphia 76ers take the floor. While some sloppy play plagued parts of the day, here are the top stories from Tuesday’s action:

Caldwell-Pope Hits Game-Winner
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been the best player in Orlando thus far and continued to show why on Tuesday. Despite starting 1-of-7 from the field against Miami, he ended the game 7-of-13 including the game winning three-pointer to lead Detroit to an undefeated start.
 
With 12 seconds left, Detroit had possession trailing, 78-77. Caldwell-Pope inbounded the ball, got it back, used a screen and knocked down a clutch three-pointer with less than seven seconds left. Shabazz Napier missed a three-pointer on the following possession and Detroit improved to 3-0.
 
“It was just a quick play we called, a play out of bounds,” Caldwell-Pope said on NBA TV. “I wanted to drive initially, but they gave me the three so I pulled up and made it.”
 
Caldwell-Pope finished with 26 points and seven rebounds. He remains in the top spot of the MVP Tracker despite battling an ankle injury he suffered in the first half. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard is looking to take a step forward in his second year with the Pistons.
 
“I feel more comfortable,” he said. “I feel comfortable with the ball in my hands, the plays I’m making, and the plays I’m making for my team, so I’m just going out there and playing hard.”
 
Philadelphia Rookie Trio Show Potential
 
While Casper Ware has been the top player for Philadelphia’s summer league team so far, three rookies impressed against Houston.
 
Second round picks K.J. McDaniels and Jermai Grant were drafted because of their high upside and showed flashes on Tuesday. McDaniels had 15 points while shooting 4-of-8 from the floor and 2-of-2 from behind the arc. He also added five rebounds and a highlight block. He’s an athletic wing who showed good progress. If he’s able to knock down shots from the perimeter, he’ll be a quality NBA player.
 
Grant had 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting along with five rebounds. He knocked down his only three-point attempt and showed his athleticism with a dunk in traffic.
 
Although undrafted, JaKarr Sampson has been a standout as well. On Tuesday, the St. John’s product was 5-of-5 from the floor with 13 points, eight rebounds, and three steals. He’s has some guard skills at 6-foot-9 and his length helps him disrupt passing lanes. Sampson has made an impression as a perimeter player and even knocked down a three against Houston.
 
Stokes Takes Top Spot in Rookie Tracker
 
Rookie power forward Jarnell Stokes dethroned teammate Jordan Adams from the top spot on the Rookie Tracker after finishing with his second consecutive double-double on Tuesday. He had 11 points on 4-of-11 shooting with 12 rebounds.
 
“Right now I’m making a lot of rookie mistakes, there’s a couple things I can fix, but nothing too big,” Stokes said on NBA TV. “I think I’m one of the strongest guys definitely in college, but in the NBA I think I also like to use my body very well and I have very surprising quickness to my game, a little bit of athleticism that most guys don’t have for my size. But if I can clean up a lot of little mistakes, I think I’ll be good.”
 
Stokes is slightly undersized for the power forward position, measuring 6-foot-8.5 at the NBA Draft Combine, but has a 7-foot-1.25 wingspan to help compensate. He’s a tough rebounder down low who will find minutes due to his tenacious rebounding ability.
 
“I’m definitely a rebounder,” he added. “I think a lot of guys, definitely as a rookie, want to come in and do some things that the coaches don’t want them to do ­– well I’m not that kind of guy. I understand that my money is made on rebounding and toughness. I’m also working on my game to expand, but right now I got to be tough. I got to find minutes right now.”
 
The second round pick should find his way onto the Memphis roster if he continues to perform like this.
 
Bader Signs International Deal
 
In Sunday’s recap, we mentioned that Travis Bader was an undrafted rookie of note. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Oakland broke the NCAA Division I record for made three-point field goals and continued to show his success as a spot up shooter in Orlando.
 
After playing with the Philadelphia 76ers summer league squad, 76ers beat writer Keith Pompey reported that Bader signed with the French team ASVEL. He can reportedly opt out if he makes an NBA team. While he may not make an NBA roster, the summer league was a good opportunity to draw international attention.
 
MVP Tracker
1. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Detroit Pistons (Previous: 1)
Tuesday’s Line: 26 points, 7 rebounds
 
Caldwell-Pope had the game-winner against Miami and continues to score at a high level. He has yet to be knocked off from the top spot.
 
2. Mason Plumlee, Brooklyn Nets (Previous: 3)
Tuesday’s Line: No Game
 
3. James Ennis, Miami Heat (Previous: 2)
Tuesday’s Line: 4 points, 7 rebounds
 
Ennis had a quiet day and dropped a spot after shooting 1-of-6 from the field. If his jumper is falling, he should remain as one of the top players in Orlando.
 
4. Jeremy Lamb, Oklahoma City Thunder (Previous: 5)
Tuesday’s Line: No Game
 
5. Casper Ware, Philadelphia 76ers (Previous: NR)
Tuesday’s Line: 16 points, 4 assists
 
Ware has been one of the most consistent performers in Orlando and debuts on the MVP Tracker after scoring at least 16 points in his third consecutive game. He’s averaging 17.3 points, 3.7 assists, and three rebounds per game in Orlando as he attempts to make the Philadelphia roster.
 
Rookie Tracker
1. Jarnell Stokes, Memphis Grizzlies (Previous: 5)
Tuesday’s Line: 11 points, 12 rebounds
 
Stokes recorded his second double-double in Orlando and climbed into the top spot. He’s scored in double figures all three days and is averaging 12.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in summer league play.
 
2. Nick Johnson, Houston Rockets (Previous: 2)
Tuesday’s Line: 11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists
 
Johnson had a chance to take the top spot, but shot only 4-of-14 from the floor in the loss. He continues to impress, however, due to his ability to contribute in areas outside of the scoring column.
 
3. Jordan Adams, Memphis Grizzlies (Previous: 1)
Tuesday’s Line: 2 points, 2 steals
 
Adams had his worst day of the Orlando Summer League and dropped from the top spot. He was held to just two points while shooting 0-of-6 from the field.
