Although this is the first NBA Summer League for Kira Lewis Jr. and Naji Marshall, the pair of Pelicans have a slight advantage over some of the other participants, having spent last season as New Orleans rookies. Lewis and Marshall continued to show that they’re a step ahead of the competition Friday, leading the Pelicans to a third straight comfortable win in Las Vegas.
Lewis tallied 22 points on only 11 shots from the field, while Marshall produced 16 points and 11 rebounds, to go with five assists, three steals and one block. New Orleans became the fourth summer squad in Nevada to improve to 3-0.
