A lot of people think there is no basketball to be watched during the summer. That is far from the case! During the summer, you can watch NBA summer league basketball. Summer league may not be the highest level of play but the players play hard and you can get a first look at future superstars.
Speaking of potential superstars, Jerryd Bayless, the rookie guard for the Portland Trail Blazers, didn’t disappoint in his first summer league action. Bayless finished his summer league debut with 28 points and four rebounds. Petteri Koponen, who the Blazers drafted in the first round last year, chipped in 19 points and three assists.
Bayless has a chance to start the season as Portland’s starter at guard next to Brandon Roy. If he keeps playing like this, he’ll start for sure.
Here’s a video of Bayless scoring 28 points in summer league:
