Brandon Williams scores 15 points on the opening night of NBA Summer League.
Justin Spears LAS VEGAS — The attention during the Portland Trail Blazers' 81-78 loss to the Detroit Pistons on the opening night of NBA Summer League at Thomas and Mack Center was focused around the first-round draft picks, Shaedon Sharpe and Jaden Ivey.
Hetzel says he was impressed with Williams' knack for driving in the lane, and wants the 22-year-old guard to be an"aggressive player and want the ball in the paint." Williams was unavailable for media availability after the game on Thursday, but plans to speak with the Star this weekend. The 6-foot-2-inch combo guard is entering his second season in the NBA after leaving the UA prior to the pandemic-influenced 2020-21 season. Williams received All-Pac-12 Freshman Team honors in 2019.
With Sharpe out, Williams and Keon Johnson, who led the team with 21 points on 8 for 17 shooting, carried the load for Portland, but Ivey's 20 points and Pistons center Isaiah Stewart's near double-double of 13 points and nine rebounds gave Detroit the edge.
