Just a few days after signing a three-year, $4.76 million deal, Jabari Walker already has his first championship ring as the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the New York Knicks in the Summer League final.
Walker capped his standout performance with a monster stat line off the bench: 14 points (4/8 shooting), 11 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, all in 27 minutes of game time. He was efficient, productive and energizing — just as he was in his previous four games — and had Blazers fans swooning over the late second round pick.
Trendon Watford ended up winning Summer League MVP, but it could have just as easily gone to the Portland’s 6th man.
