For two of the three guys who played for the Miami Heat last season, the start to the summer league season has been pretty good.
Bam Adebayo, asked to lead all of summer league in rebounding, led the California Classic with 11.3 rebounds per game. Derrick Jones Jr., tasked with improving his shooting touch and defending the other team’s best player every night, led all scorers at the California Classic in total points scored and held No. 2 overall pick Marvin Bagley Jr. to 1 point on Thursday.
It’s been a different kind of start for Derrick Walton Jr.
