Milwaukee Bucks Summer League Preview: July 10 vs China
The Book of Elijah
Coming off his incredibly efficient 31-point performance in the Bucks’ loss to the Timberwolves, Elijah Bryant will be looking to put on a repeat performance Wednesday night with a little more added attention.
Bryant’s poise, control and feel for the game, primarily as a lead ball handler, has been a regular feature throughout the Bucks’ first three games in Las Vegas, something that couldn’t be said for even the rostered players taking part in this year’s Summer League.
But it was the extended heat check that the 24-year-old put on throughout the second half last time out that truly showcased Bryant’s scoring expertise, both in his dynamic marksmanship from long range where he went 5-of-7 from that level of the floor or his skilled finishing around the hoop.
As Sportando reported in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the former Cougar is firmly on the radar of various NBA teams, thanks to performances such as the one he delivered Monday night as well as the production he put up in his lone year at Hapoel Eilat in Israel.
Whether the Bucks are among those teams interested in securing the 6’5″ scoring wing remains to be seen, but the impact of Bryant’s standout Summer League showing may be enormous in furthering his burgeoning professional career.
