Local NBA summer showcase: Jalen Suggs shines, Anthony Edwards seems just fine

The NBA Summer League exudes a vibe that is somewhere between MLB spring training and, well, Las Vegas. But it sure can provide an absolute trove of local talent on a slow sports night.

Look no further than Monday when Minnehaha Academy's Jalen Suggs shined in his pro debut for the Orlando Magic — who drafted him No. 5 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft — and Anthony Edwards showed his unstoppable personality from the seats while watching the Timberwolves top San Antonio, a game that also happened to feature Apple Valley's Tre Jones and Champlin Park's McKinley Wright IV.
