Liam McNeeley registered a double-double on Friday to tip off the NBA Summer League, helping the Charlotte Hornets defeat the Utah Jazz in Las Vegas, Nevada.
McNeeley produced a team-high 22 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in the 111-105 victory at the Thomas & Mack Center. He went 7-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range, in 28 minutes of work off the bench.
The 29th pick showcased each element of his game in the contest, from his floor spacing to his ability to make plays for others. He crashed the glass hard and immediately looked to push the pace off each missed shot by the Jazz throughout his time on the court.
