Brock Motum playing well for the Jazz in the Summer League

The former Cougar big man continues to score at an efficient rate.

US PRESSWIRE

Brock Motum is getting his chance to impress in the NBA Summer League and he's doing a good job of taking advantage. Motum played 19 minutes on Monday and finished with 16 points and six rebounds. Even more impressively, he scored those 16 points on just nine shots.

There is a lot of clutter in the Summer League and hit can be hard to separate, but scoring and rebounding at an efficient rate will help. Motum has now played 32 minutes across two games and is 9-of-13 from the floor. He scored 20 points to go along with 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals. That sounds  a lot like a typical night for him late in his WSU career.

He's also doing it in style (assuming he connected on this dunk attempt):

Motum will get another chance to impress on Tuesday when the Jazz take on the Nuggets. D.J. Shelton will also be in action Tuesday, playing for the Atlanta Hawks. Shelton played 11 minutes in his first appearance and finished with six points and five rebounds. Four of those game on the offensive end. Raise your hand if you're surprised D.J. Shelton is still gobbling up offensive rebounds.

If you're interested in watching, Shelton will play at 1 p.m. PT while Motum will take the court at 5:30 p.m.

I had a chance to spend some time with Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday in Pullman early last month, and with the tape recorder off, we talked about the race for backup QB between Tyler Bruggman and Luke Falk. Halliday was highly complimentary of Falk.
