Sam Merrill in Summer League
Sam Merrill has 1 Summer League on file. In 2023 he played 5 games at 28 minutes, scoring 26.2 points per 36 with 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists. Measured across 361 players (SL 2022-2024 vs 2022-23 to 2024-25), only about 27% of Summer League scoring carries into the regular season, against 62% of rebounding and 54% of assists -- so those July rates historically translate to about 15.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per 36 in the season. Taken at face value, Summer League numbers predict the season worse than ignoring them; discounted this way they beat a position average by 13.0% on points. A prior, not a projection.
