Sacramento’s Keegan Murray will drop 29 points against Chet Holmgren and OKC in a Wednesday summer league match.
Las Vegas – Here’s an overview of Wednesday’s top performance: NBA 2K23 Summer LeagueMade at Thomas & Mac Center and Cocks Pavilion.
Keegan Murray, Sacramento Kings
Keegan Murray continues his impressive Summer League campaign with 29 points, seven rebounds and four steals against Thunder.
Undoubtedly, Murray will encounter adversity during his rookie season, even if he is a legitimate fourth prospect. But at this point, the performance of almost every Summer League looked the same.As shown in Kings 86-80 loss For Oklahoma City Thunder, Murray scored many points (29), shot efficiently (9 to 17), rebounded (7) and stole several times (4).
Kings lost did not go well with Murray. But Wednesday’s defeat in Sacramento had little to do with him. His three sales were an offensive by-product. Murray hopes his strong play will actually lead to a winning game in the regular season, but he doesn’t have to scrutinize that part in the Summer League match.
Sandro MamukelashviliMilwaukee Bucks
Sandro Mamukelashvili scored a big double-double (18 points, 15 revs) to win Milwaukee over Minnesota.
At the beginning of last season when Brook Lopez suffered a back injury, it may have been a big wish for Mamukerashibiri to play a big role. But Mamukelashvili seems ready to assume more than the spots in the NBA. After becoming the center of the G League Wisconsin Hard last season, the 6’9 forward center looks sophisticated as a versatile Big Man.
In Bucks 87-75 victory At the Minnesota Timberwolves, Mamkerashvili performed his all-round game as a scorer (18 points), rebounder (15), and playmaker (4 assists). He looked as comfortable as taking a 3 as he did when he hit inside. And his confidence showed exactly the same whether he was running on the floor or on a half-court set.
Bryce McGowens, Charlotte Hornets
No matter what he did with the ball, McGowens became a threat. He ejected 3 seconds with a soft touch and aggressively drove to the rack.
Hornets 91-80 wins The Cleveland Cavaliers scored 24 points on a 7-10 shot from the field, demonstrating the level of comfort of McGoence. He was almost perfect from the deep (5 to 6) and free throw lines (5 to 6). McGowens recorded only one assist, but he didn’t force too many shots.
Hornets, who has obtained a draft of McGowens, the 40th pick overall from Minnesota, has signed a 6’7 guard forward two-way contract. So expect McGoence to further develop his national team in next season’s G League and occasional NBA games.
Deividas Servicedis, New Orleans Pelican
Davidus Sylvidis of New Orleans scored the game’s highest 25 points against Washington
Sirvydis looked like a veterinarian who shot the ball, emptied the floor, and ran up and down the court. result?With a pelican 106-88 wins At the Washington Wizards, Serbydis did everything with efficient scoring (9 to 17 from the field, 25 points, 6 to 10 from the deep), adding five rebounds and two steals.
Since the Detroit Pistons won their 37th overall victory in the 2019 Draft, Servicedis’ NBA career hasn’t gone as planned. After serving as a draft and stash and playing professionally in Israel, Servidis won a three-year contract with Detroit and was exempted during the 2020-21 season. Since then, Servicedis has played during a 10-day contract with a Pistons G-League affiliate.
Taking a lot out of the Summer League play is potentially dangerous, but Servicedis has shown that he deserves at least more opportunities to take his big break.
DJ Wilson, Toronto Raptors
Expect Wilson to be part of the Raptors rotation.
Toronto signed a multi-year contract with him this season after serving three 10-day contracts. Wilson is part of the Raptors Summer League team for additional personnel than a real talent assessment.

But Wilson certainly looked sharp in the Raptors 80-74 wins Above Utah Jazz. He had 22 points with a 7 to 12 clip and a 3 to 6 mark from deep with 9 rebounds.
Matt Mitchell, Denver Nuggets
Matt Mitchell scored 17 points with five 3 points in a wire-to-wire victory over Denver’s LA.
Mitchell may have won a two-way contract with the Nuggets.
In denver 80-75 wins At the LA Clippers, Mitchell scored 17 points 6-12 from the field and 5-10 from the deep, adding 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The performance captured why the Nuggets were intrigued by the variety of his big names as shooters, post-up players, rim protectors and more.
Mitchell played abroad in France last season after playing for the San Antonio Summer League team in 2021. Prior to that, a small 6’6 forward marked a productive four-year college career in San Diego. A common thread at all these stops: Mitchell received quality guidance to focus on fundamentals. Denver will definitely evaluate someone in Mitchell’s caliber next season as both a productive practitioner and body, in case the training staff is crowded.
