Burries with the bully-ball
The No. 10 pick out of Arizona is a bull at the Summer League level, getting downhill with ease here and powering through the chest of the rim protector.
He’s not shooting that efficiently, but there are flashes of a talented pick-and-roll initiator.

Bucks’ rooks starting off hot
Brayden Burries (5 pts, 2 ast, 1 blk) and Nate Ament (12 pts on 5-for-6 shooting, 4 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl) have started off strong against the 76ers.
