This week, 21-year old Phoenix Suns forward/center Jalen Smith was named to the First-team All-Vegas Summer League, along with (weirdly) six other players. Usually, there’s only five players on an all-tourney team because only five can play on a court at one time, but voting ties are ties and Jalen got in so we’ll take it.
Smith becomes only the sixth Sun ever to achieve First-team honors. He led the tourney in rebounding (12.5) and led all big men in three-point attempts (7) per game. Having those two traits in a single player who measures 6’10” with a 7’1” wingspan is exciting and should translate to a true NBA player.
