Yesterday was a big day for the NBA, as the Orlando Summer League entered it's fourth day and teams- what?  What's that?  Something else happened?  Oh, right.  Actually, I was borderline forced to watch the whole spectacle last night because NBA TV stopped showing the final game in order to talk about LeBron James - a good hour before his decision was announced.  So that was fun.

Anyway, as I expected, some of the more veteran NBA players in attendance got a little more rest, and some of the free agents had already left for Vegas.  There were still some quality performances, though, and since most people visiting Ridiculous Upside are probably doing so as a way to see who's looking good and bad at Summer League in lieu of a recap of each game, Scott has saddled me made the brilliant decision to bring back the lovely Monstars and Nonstars that we employed during the D-League playoffs.  These are the three(-ish) best and non-best players of the day, again sticking with players you may not be familiar with.

This list is a bit closer to three apiece.  Hit the jump to see who was ballin'.

Monstars

• Rod Benson, C, Utah Jazz - Not to brag, guys, but I totally called this.  Benson played a little under 13 minutes, and in that time scored 12 point on 5-8 shooting, grabbed six rebounds and had two assists.  He also was active on defense, going to work not just on the big men but forcing penetrating guards farther under the basket and altering shots.  He also used his body well on offense and generally looked really good out there.  Meanwhile Steve Smith repeated some of the knocks on Benson that haven't been true for two years.  I believe the kids say "smh."
• Donell Taylor, G, Orlando Magic - Not to brag guys, but I totally called this, too (I'm not linking it again, it's the same link).  Taylor had his best game of the week, scoring 18 points on 11 shots with seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and just one turnover.  This is a lot closer to his D-League performance, and while he won't put up those numbers in the NBA, they're indicative of his versatility.
• Mustafa Shakur, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder - Shakur finally got some extended playing time, starting and playing 29 and a half minutes while James Harden and Eric Maynor sat.  Shakur made the most of his opportunity, scoring 21 points on 6-10 shooting, with five rebounds, five assists, five steals and a block, along with just one turnover.  After the game he mentioned talking to OKC assistant Maurice Cheeks about what he should be doing as a point guard, so it's good to see that he's both getting close instruction and taking it to heart.
• Bonus Second Round Pick Mention: Derrick Brown, Charlotte Bobcats - Brown has semi-quietly looked really good this week.  He's been flying around the court on both ends and showing off his athleticism.  Against the 76ers' team he scored 16 points on nine shots to go with eight rebounds and three blocks, all of those game-highs.
