The Charlotte Hornets’ No. 11 pick, James Bouknight, had an impressive performance in Thursday’s 106-105 summer league loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
Bouknight finished with 23 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists on 11-of-23 shooting from the field.
The former UConn standout ran the show the entire night for the Hornets, whether that was creating his own shot or getting others involved.
At one point, Bouknight grabbed a rebound and threw a full-court dime to fellow rookie Scottie Lewis for the fast break finish.
