Bone’s Summer League Performance

Bone’s Summer League was off to a slow start and it was not his fault at all. Due to trade restrictions from the NBA, Bone had to miss the first two games.

He made his debut in the third game playing 16 minutes scoring six points, grabbing four rebounds and had two assists.

Bone made sure to not disappoint in his next performance. Going into the first round matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, word got out that starting point guard, Bruce Brown would be out for the rest of the summer league.

With Brown out that meant that Bone would receive more playing time and he took advantage of that.

The second round draft pick wasted no time against Brooklyn, scoring 18 points shooting 6-for-12 from the field and adding four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Though the Pistons weren’t able to pull out the victory, Bone made use of his playing time and showed why he could be an option in the near future.

Watching that game against Brooklyn, Bone was able to adjust to the quicker style of play in the league. In the 25 minutes that he played, Bone showed his explosiveness in getting to the rim just like he did during his tenure at Tennessee.

He only played two games during the summer league, but he made sure to contribute the best way he possibly could. That second game that Bone played in was a statement game.

He let people know that what he did in college, he could do in the league, if not better.
