Številni ameriški ljubitelji NBA košarke si želijo na poletni ligi NBA v Las Vegasu videti tretji izbor na draftu, a Luka Dončić še ni dobil izpisnice iz madridskega Reala ter tako ne more zaigrati za Dallas. Medtem ko evropski klubski in reprezentančni prvak le s klopi spremlja dogajanje, pa je Američane navdušil njegov reprezentančni kolega.
Vlatko Čančar je bil lani izbran s strani moštva Denver Nuggets, po igranju v Evropi pa se zdaj znova poskuša predstaviti še čez lužo. "Ugotovitev prvega dne poletne lige: Vlatko Čančar je najboljši igralec na svetu," se je glasil eden izmed komentarjev dogajanja v Las Vegasu.
Final thought from day one of Summer League: Vlatko Cancar is the best player alive.

"Čančar me je navdušil. Zadel je met za tri točke, skakal v napadu, se boril za proste žoge in dobro sodeloval pri kroženju žoge. Naredil ni niti ene omembe vredne napake," je bil drug komentar.
Cancar is really impressing me. He has hit a three, scrapped for offensive rebounds, fought for loose balls, and is moving the ball well. He hasn’t made any glaring mistakes at all.

Slovenski reprezentant je ob znagi Denverja proti Minnesoti (70:69) odigral 21 minut in v svojo statistiko vpisal 11 točk, štiri skoke, podajo, blokado in pridobil tri žoge.

My nugget on the Nuggets second quarter of summer league:

Vlatko Cancar is good at the little things. Fundamentally solid on both ends of the floor. Had a couple impressive defensive efforts with quick feet paired offensively with smart decisions and no hesitation with his shot
