Despite playing in just two games in the NBA Summer League, former Indiana basketball standout forward Trayce Jackson-Davis made the most of his opportunities.
Trayce Jackson-Davis finished his NBA Summer League with 18 points on 8-of-12 from the field, 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in the Golden State Warriors finale on Saturday.
Jackson-Davis missed the first three games in Las Vegas and the two games in the California Classic due to a hamstring issue.
In two games, Jackson-Davis averaged 16.0 points on 14-of-21 from the field and 8.5 rebounds a game.
Jackson-Davis showed off his terrific passing ability at 6-foot-9. Despite having just three assists, there were a handful of times he made the right pass and set his teammates up for success, but were unable to finish.
His playmaking ability and his terrific skillset off of high ball screens is what sets him apart at his position.
“The way they space the floor, getting guys open, setting ball screens, flipping to the rim, dunks lobs, doing stuff of that nature,” Jackson-Davis said on how he can help the Warriors. “I think that’s how I’ll be able to contribute to this team.”
