Former Kansas men's basketball standout forward Jalen Wilson dominated for the Brooklyn Nets in a 104-102 Summer League victory over the Orlando Magic.
The 23-year-old scored a stellar 33 points on 11-of-20 from the field, including a nearly perfect 6-of-7 from downtown, and notched a double-double with 10 rebounds. Perhaps Wilson's best moment was the game-winning layup in overtime.
