The No. 1 overall draft pick, a 7-foot-5
prospect from France who's been hyped for years, had trouble
offensively in his first competitive action in an NBA uniform --
a 2-for-13 shooting performance for the night.
His counterpart on the Hornets, No. 2 overall pick Brandon
Miller out of Alabama, had a double-double in his Summer League
debut, leading his team with 16 points and 11 rebounds while
adding three steals. Miller shot 5-for-15 overall.
The highlight of Wembanyama's performance came on his only made
3-pointer of the night. His team ahead by 10 with 2:50 to play,
Wembanyama rattled in a trey while drawing contact from Kai
Jones. He converted the free throw for a four-point play.
Earlier in the game, Jones had his own moment when he caught a
lob pass over Wembanyama and dunked on him.
