In a previous NBA Summer League game, the Miami Heat, who had suffered a 39-point defeat the day before, defeated the Sacramento Kings Blue 102-86. After this game, the Heat won their first Summer League game, while the Kings suffered their first Summer League loss after the victory over China.
In this game, the Heat's starting backcourt player Isaiah Stevens (Isaiah Stevens) performed quite impressively. Stevens played 20 minutes and 21 seconds, shooting 4-of-5 from the field and 2-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, with 10 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, and a plus/minus of +3. Stevens has shown great scoring ability on the offensive end, and he also has a relatively well-rounded offensive approach. The most important thing is that his performance in terms of playmaking and tandem attack is quite eye-catching, and his performance in this area has also left a deep impression on everyone. It looks like Stevens is a very well-rounded player on the offensive end, and he does have a high level of maturity on the offensive end.
Stevens' performance in the previous team's heavy defeat to the Golden State Warriors was relatively average, he only played a total of 14 minutes and 36 seconds, shooting 3-of-4 from the field and 1-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, finishing with 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and his plus/minus was also as low as -21. In the last game, Stevens' performance was limited by playing time and was not particularly ideal, and although he scored well on the offensive end, he still couldn't make the most of his abilities. In this game, Stevens gained more trust and became the team's starter, and in this case, he also proved that he is indeed capable of taking on more responsibility.
Born in January 2000, Stevens is now 23 years old and was the undrafted pick in this year's NBA Draft. Previously, the Heat offered him a training camp contract with an Exhibit 10 clause, and he was also on the Heat Summer League roster. According to the previous physical test data in the G-League elite training camp, Stevens has a bare foot height of 180.3cm, a weight of 82.6kg, an arm span of 193cm, and a standing touch height of 241.3cm. In the NCAA last season, Stevens played a total of 36 games for Colorado State University, averaging 34.8 minutes per game, averaging 16 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers while shooting 47.4% from the field, 44% from three-point range, and 83.6% from the free throw line. Stevens is undoubtedly a well-rounded player, and if he can maintain that level in the next games, maybe he will have a chance to get a two-way contract from another team?
