Tar Heels Shine and Struggle in Summer League | Tar Heel Basketball News

Three former Tar Heels—RJ Davis, Drake Powell, and Cormac Ryan—tested their NBA readiness in the California Summer League, with mixed results that could shape their futures. Davis, suiting up for the Spurs, flashed potential with a strong finish: 18 points and a team-high plus-minus in his final game, despite the Spurs going winless. Powell, a first-round pick, struggled mightily, shooting just 1-of-17 overall and missing all nine of his threes, though he grabbed 12 rebounds. Ryan, in his third Summer League stint with the Bucks, only played one game, scoring 13 points in 19 minutes while the reasons for his limited minutes remain unclear. All three now head to the Las Vegas Summer League hoping to turn things around and earn more roster chances. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
