Portland Trail Blazers rookie Jerryd Bayless was named the top rookie of the NBA Summer League on Sunday after averaging a league-high 29.8 points in four games in Las Vegas.

Bayless shot 49 percent from the field during the league. He hit 43 percent of his three-point attempts and collected 4.8 rebounds per contest.

Against the Suns on Saturday, the former Phoenix St. Mary's High and University of Arizona standout scored 36 points, including the Trail Blazers final 13 points.
He hit a jump shot with 18 seconds left to give Portland a 74-73 win.

On Sunday, Bayless was also named to a select team of young NBA players that will scrimmage against the U.S. Men's National Team this week to help the team prepare for the Olympic Games.

The Suns' Robin Lopez, who averaged 14 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in the Summer League, was named to the select team on Saturday.

The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Who said you can't build a team thru the draft?

Who knows how many of those players that Portland will be able to keep as well. You can bet that Roy will get near a max deal, Outlaw and Webster will both need decent sized deals, Aldridge will be coming up, Oden, the list goes on.

They can sign all of them since they are their own players. I think their owner has a deep pocket.

Well of course, but no team wants to go over the salary cap and pay the luxury tax, unless your James Dolan or Mark Cuban and even Cuban didn't want to.

Paying for your players is necessary no matter how you get them. At least if you draft them you have them for a while while they're cheap. If you're lucky you sign more to contracts before they blow up then you before they bust.

They better be a dynasty by 5 years cause they are gonna have to pay the players. They will be broken up by year 3-4. Most likely they keep Oden, Aldridge and Roy the rest will become interchangeable parts.
