Obi Toppin‘s great strides in Las Vegas have earned him a spot in the NBA All-Summer League First Team.
The New York Knicks‘ sophomore forward led the tournament in playing time (35.1 minutes per game). It was something that he didn’t enjoy during his rookie year as he played sporadically behind Knicks’ All-Star forward Julius Randle. Curiously, Randle also led the entire league in minutes (37.6) last season.
“Obi put in a lot of time over the summer. And it showed,” Knicks Summer League coach Daisuke “Dice” Yoshimoto said earlier in the tournament.
