The players invited were split into four teams for the scrimmage games, with each group hitting the court for the first time on Saturday. A select number of the top standouts will be invited to the draft combine, set to follow the G League Elite Camp this week.
Rookie Wire looked at five prospects with notable performances on Sunday. The group projects to have a strong chance to continue its stay in the Windy City.
Davis wrapped up the G League Elite Camp with 13 points, five assists, three rebounds and one steal in the second scrimmage game on Sunday. He went 5-of-10 from the field, including two 3-pointers, and was a plus-15 in 20 minutes on the court.
The former ACC Player of the Year displayed his traits as a high-level playmaker and initiator on offense, while dropping in some timely shots for his team. He was one of the top guards at the competition and likely did enough to advance to the combine.
Mgbako finished off the G League Elite Camp with another tremendous showing, recording a game-high 22 points, seven rebounds and four assists. He went 4-of-8 from 3-point range and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line in 24 minutes in a 101-98 win.
The 6-foot-8 standout played some of his best basketball in Chicago after scoring 19 points and four rebounds on Saturday. As a result, he'll likely earn a call-up to the combine and have the chance to continue to make a name for himself.
Niederhauser continued a strong showing at the G League Elite Camp on Sunday, producing 14 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one blocked shot. He went a perfect 6-of-6 from the field in nearly 22 minutes of action in a 101-98 loss.
The effort followed a 17-point, four-rebound performance on Saturday. He emerged as perhaps the top player in the two-day competition and helped raise his draft stock in front of the executives, scouts and coaches in attendance in Chicago.
Olbrich registered a double-double on Sunday, finishing with 16 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in a loss. He once again showed off his ability to do the dirty work and crash the glass at a high level, while scoring inside the paint.
The 6-foot-11 Australian was a plus-34 in 42 total minutes on the court in Chicago. He likely did enough to earn an invitation to the combine and continue showcasing his game against some of the top prospects in the draft this year.
Poulakidas produced a game-high 16 points, one rebound, one assist and one steal in the second scrimmage game on Sunday. He finished by shooting 6-of-10 from the field, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range, in 20 minutes off the bench in a 92-73 win.
The 6-foot-6 guard was among the last prospects invited to the G League Elite Camp and responded with a strong showing in Chicago. He showcased his playmaking, scoring and defensive abilities, and could be among the prospects called up to the combine.
