Orlando Summer League Updates
In Steven Adams second outing of the tournament the 2.13m 19-year-old produced his best performance of his fledgling pro career as he helped the Thunder advance their record to 3-0 with a 79-75 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Adams played 31 minutes at centre for the Thunder -- serious minutes in summer league play -- and finished with 11 points on four-of-five shooting from the field and six rebounds. He also went three-of-five from the free-throw line and had just the one turnover.
Adams' efforts were more commendable in that they were achieved in a notable head to head against outstanding Pistons big man Andre Drummond who finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Meanwhile New Zealand Breakers point guard Cedric Jackson has produced a second straight standout display for the Miami Heat at the Orlando tournament.
Jackson, playing 23 minutes as starting point guard for the Heat, finished with five points, eight rebounds and nine assists as Miami defeated the Orlando Magic 94-80 for their second win of the event.
Jackson went just one-of-five from the field, but showed the all-round game familiar to Breakers fans as he made another positive stride in his bid to play his way on to an NBA roster for the 2013-14 season.
Anyone else got any other info on Aussies playing?
