It was a busy day of action for many WCC alumni in the Las Vegas summer league. Here is how they fared.
Sam DowerandAnthony Irelanddid not play for their respective summer league teams, which played eachother this afternoon. The Raptors knocked off the Lakers by a score of 88 to 78.
Matthew Dellavedovaplayed alongside two number one overall draft picks –Anthony BennettandAndrew Wiggins– in the Cavaliers starting lineup today. While Wiggins and Bennett were walking highlight real’s the entire game, Dellavedova was in complete control of the Cavaliers offense. However, Dellavedova struggled statistically, scoring 13 points, dishing out 6 assists with 6 turnovers. Dellavedova was sent to the line with 8.9 seconds left, and proceeded to make both foul shots to put the Cavs up three and set his team up for victory.
Former Gonzaga guardSteven Grayalso suited up for Cleveland, playing 2:54 and recording a foul and a turnover.
Mickey McConnell, a former star point guard for the Saint Mary’s Gaels, led the Charlotte Hornets in scoring with 19 points and tied for the lead in assists with two in his team’s 70 to 58 loss to Golden State. McConnell was in the starting lineup and shot an impressive eight of 14 from the field in the Hornets loss to the Warriors.
The San Antonio Spurs, who feature former Gonzaga forward and first round pickAustin Daye, faced off with the Sacramento Kings, who boast former Pepperdine forward/center and WCC defensive player of the yearBrendan Lane. The Spurs defeated the Kings 85-69, and Daye got the start, played the most minutes and led the team in scoring with 14 points. However, Daye was not efficient with a field goal percent of 27.7 and 3-point percentage of 12.5. The former Zag was one rebound short from a double-double with nine boards and also dished out three assists in the win.
Lane did not get the minutes that Daye received, but was much more efficient. Lane scored three points on only one shot and was one of one from the charity stripe. The former Pepperdine star also tallied an assist and three boards in the Kings drubbing.
Former Gonzaga guardMatt Bouldinsuited up for the D-League all-stars, but did not play in their 83-81 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
