With the Las Vegas Summer League now officially half-way over, here's a quick look at how the former Arizona Wildcats are faring. I have ranked them in order by scoring average top to bottom:
1. Jerryd Bayless (POR - 1 game), 22 pts, 41% shooting, 4 Reb, 7 Ast
2. Chase Budinger (HOU - 3 games), 15.7 pts, 63% shooting, 2.7 Reb, 1 Ast
3. Jordan Hill (NYK - 1 game), 13 pts, 42% shooting, 8 Reb, 2 Steals
4. Mustafa Shakur (LAL - 4 games), 6.5 pts, 42% shooting, 2 Reb, 2 Ast, 2.5 Steals
5. Salim Stoudamire (MIL - 2 games), 4 pts, 37% shooting, 1 Ast, 1 Steal
6. Chris Rodgers (PHX - 1 game) 4 Mins, 0 pts, 2 Reb, 1 Ast
7. Hassan Adams (HOU - 0 games) DNP
Here's what we already knew that these stats are confirming:
- We all knew Bayless had skills he just needed some time to develop
- We knew that Budinger is a first-round talent that pretty much got hosed and drafted in the second round
- We knew Hill is solid and will put up solid (not spectacular) numbers
- We knew Shakur was always a bit over-hyped
- We knew Stoudamire peaked in college
- We knew Rodgers was never going to crack an NBA roster
- We knew Hassan would be a journeyman at best
We'll see what plays out over the send half of Summer League...
