Baylor’s Kendall Brown Making a Splash in NBA Summer League
Through four games of NBA Summer League action, former Baylor Bears forward Kendall Brown is averaging 9.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game for the Indiana Pacers.
And although the Pacers have just one game remaining in Las Vegas — a matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday — Brown has made quite an impact on his new team.
Baylor coach Scott Drew recently tweeted out an image boasting about Brown’s spectacular play thus far in the summer league.
