Khaman Maluach was selected to the NBA All-Summer League Second Team

He averaged 19.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 3.3 stocks per game in Las Vegas … on 70.4% True Shooting

2nd team? Pshaw!

Yexel, the 6-9 MVP center had these stats.

14.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists.

I felt he should have been first team. He lead the summer league in rebounding!

Per NBA: All-Summer League 1st and 2nd teams were "selected by a vote of all 30 NBA teams based on performance at Summer League in Las Vegas." So, got two questions.Based on performance, should Khaman Maluach made 1st team (made 2nd team) and Koa Peat made 2nd team? #Suns

Fully agree with the emphasis on setting hard screens. From MW to Oso and KM, our centers tend to avoid contact while setting screens, which makes the opposing defenders job easy. KM's court awareness improved a great deal over last season, which is also most important for him.

Who was first team over him?!?

Who was first team over him?!?

The guy who won SL MVP.

Edit- Yaxel Lendeborg if it matters.

IIRC, Maluach's stats were better.

IIRC, Maluach's stats were better.

Yes, and he's a much better prospect. Yaxel was the best player on the team that won it all, so pretty sure that is why he got the accolades.

These are my thoughts too, taking nothing away from Yaxel.
