Trey Alexander could be this year's impact two-way contract
Alexander has comfortably been Denver's second-best option in Las Vegas behind Strawther. And with Strawther resting Tuesday's game, the new two-way player from Creighton got an opportunity to shine as a lead guard. Alexander went for 18 points and eight rebounds, bringing his Summer League averages to 16 and 5.3.
The rookie plays with good spatial instinct and operates at his own pace with the ball. He's knocking down 3s off the dribble and the catch. He's getting to the line when he attacks the rim. He said on the broadcast Tuesday that Denver knew the Hornets would be in a lot of drop coverage, allowing him to prioritize getting to his confident midrange jumper.
After three steady performances — starting when he came off the bench last Friday - Alexander is shooting 50% on 10.7 field goal attempts per game and 46% on 4.3 outside attempts per game. Seeing as Michael Malone was already impressed by his week at mini camp before the trip to Vegas, this summer might be tracking toward Alexander becoming a valuable regular-season role player.
