The NBA Summer League is becoming a personal highlight reel for [autotag]Blake Wesley[/autotag]. The San Antonio Spurs guard and former Notre Dame player has made one impressive play after another in the NBA’s annual summer showcase. He made another one in the Spurs’ latest game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He threw down a dunk and then hung on the rim for a second or two before coming down to get back on defense:

Wesley scored 14 points and dished out five assists, but it was not enough to prevent the Spurs from losing, 85-80. He’ll have the opportunity to show off his skills twice more this week during games against the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons.
While it’s unlikely the Summer League will determine exactly what Wesley’s role will be during this coming season, it still is impressive to see him making this many athletic plays against young players. How he can perform against the rest of the NBA will be another story.
