The Mavericks’ wing rookie rarely breaks out. Is this the level that a two-way contract player should have?

Basketball

In a previous NBA summer league game, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 90-82. After this game, the 76ers' record in the summer league increased to 2 wins and 2 losses, while the Mavericks' record in the summer league fell to 1 wins and 3 losses.

Although the Mavericks lost the game, the expected starting wing player Miles Kelly performed quite well. Kelly played 27 minutes and 29 seconds in the game, made 8 of 18 shots and 5 of 13 from outside the three-point line, and obtained the second highest score of the team, 21 points plus 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block. There were 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +7. Kelly showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, especially outside the three-point line. He also maintained high stability and used his characteristics in this area to provide a lot of help to the team. Kelly's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable, and he is also a very good defender. Kelly did play a decisive role in both offense and defense in this game, but the problem is that most of the team's players performed very badly, and the bench players were in a very bad state. Kelly's performance was also unable to help the team turn the situation around.

Summer League so far, Kelly averaged 26.6 minutes in the first four games, with averaging 14 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 34.4%, and 100% free throw shooting percentage. Kelly's performance in the previous three games was not ideal, his scoring ability was very average, and he could not provide more help and support to the team on the offensive end, and his performance on the defensive end was not particularly outstanding. Of course, Kelly's performance is not bad, but at least it is not a particularly satisfactory level. His performance in all aspects seems to be somewhat lacking in highlights, and he does not have any outstanding talents. In this game, Kelly finally showed his due level and finally proved his characteristics.

Kelly was born in January 2003 and is 22 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 82kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. After the draft, the Mavericks gave Kelly a two-way contract, which also shows that they are optimistic about Kelly's ability. In the NCAA game last season, Kelly played 38 times for Auburn University, with averaging 28.2 minutes per game, averaging 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1 steal, 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 90.9%. Kelly's performance last season was not bad, but it was not a particularly outstanding level. Considering his age, his future development may be relatively limited. I wonder if Kelly's performance will be recognized by the team. Can he continue to play with the team in the new season?
