He was overlooked at the Draft last week, but Mantas Rubstavicius will have another chance to impress during the NBA's Summer League, starting on July 8.

The New Zealand Breakers Next Star excelled in the second half of the season and finished NBL24 with an average of 9.5 points a game.

The 22-year-old Lithuanian is a sharpshooter, going at 52.5 per cent from the field with the Breakers, and 43.3 per cent from three.

He follows NBL-rostered players Tyler Robertson and Josh Bannan in being named across Summer League rosters, while fellow Next Stars Alex Sarr, AJ Johnson, Bobi Klintman, Ariel Hukporti and Trentyn Flowers have all signed NBA deals. 

The NBA Summer League gets underway on July 8, with exclusive content available via NBL.com.au and the NBL App.
