Behind Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, one of the Golden State Warriors standouts at the Las Vegas Summer League was undrafted guard JaQuori McLaughlin.
Over his run with the summer league edition of the Warriors, McLaughlin averaged 10.2 points on 38.3% shooting from the field with 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals in five games.
During a comeback victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the UC Santa Barbara product notched a summer league-best 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting from the field with four assists.
After an impressive campaign in the summer league with Golden State, McLaughlin has reportedly earned a two-way contract in the NBA. According to Tim MacMahon of ESPN, the Mavericks are signing the 23-year-old guard to a two-way contract.
