NBA Summer League is now complete and we sit and wait for the NCAA and NBA season to begin to keep watching Spartans shine on the court. However, there were some interesting aspects of Summer League involving some former Spartans that Michigan State fans should be aware of. In the first of two posts, we’ll look at the play of Miles Bridges and Matt Costello.
Miles Bridges might be ready to break out.
Yeah, it might be time for Miles Bridges to make an impact in the NBA and people are taking notice. He averaged 13.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game this summer and at one point he put down a dunk that had the whole league talking. He played so well, The Ringer also named him one of the five most interesting players in Summer League. Let’s go Miles.
Matt Costello is an NBA player.
After some time playing in the G-League and overseas I feel confident that Matt Costello can now play in the NBA after watching him play for the Pistons in Summer League. Do I think he should be a starter or primary backup? Not really, not yet. Do I think he would be a good third big to have on an NBA roster? Absolutely I do.
Matt Costello really showed out in Summer League. He put up 13.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while averaging 20 minutes in each contest. He was energetic and effective on both ends, even hitting a few threes from time to time. Matt Costello should be on an NBA roster.
