Frank Mason led all scorers in his NBA preseason debut against the Spurs tonight! He finished with 17 points (5-10 FG) and 6 rebounds in 22 minutes of play!
“He’s great. Svi doesn’t say anything and he works his butt off. He puts in work. He’s one of the first ones on the court. He’s one of the last ones to leave the floor. He can shoot the peel off the ball. When he gets his number called, he’ll be ready.”
-LeBron’s thoughts on Svi
Devonte’ Graham made history again tonight. He joined 2 other players in NBA history who have made at least 100 threes in 27 games or less to start a season. The list?
Steph Curry
James Harden
Devonte’ Graham
Devonte’ Graham has very quietly had a good rookie year. He has an assist to turnover ratio of 4.2, which is better than any other NBA Rookie in the past 23 years!
From Appalachian State commit to being an All-American at Kansas
From spending a lot of his first year in the pros in the G-League to being the best player on the Hornets this year
Never count out Devonte’ Graham
Out of the 106 players who have
played in the Utah and California
Summer Leagues (max 2 games):
19 have at least 3 total steals
11 have at least 4 total steals
2 have at least 5 total steals
1 has at least 6 total steals:
It’s Marcus Garrett. He has 10.
Fact: LeBron has never won an NBA title without a Jayhawk on his team
Jayhawks Svi Mykhailiuk and Malik Newman recently signed with the Lakers. Today it was announced that LeBron is headed to the Lakers. Coincidence? I think not.
Tony Parker retired...Kemba Walker is most likely leaving in free agency. How awesome would it be if Devonte’ is given the keys to the Hornets and takes over as their floor general in his 2nd year in the league?
Nick Collison will have his jersey retired by Oklahoma City! He spent his entire NBA career with the franchise, and he will be the 1st player to have his number retired by the Thunder!
Svi is headed to the NBA Summer League Championship Game! He finished with 31 points (6 3’s) and 4 rebounds in a double overtime thriller against the Cavs tonight!
There were 50 players selected ahead of Jalen Wilson in this year’s NBA Draft. In Summer League, Jalen currently has a higher scoring average (16.5 PPG) than 42 of them.
