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.

The 6-foot-8, 225-pounder was selected by the Nets with the 51st overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft. While at Kansas, Wilson was named a consensus All-American, the 2023 Big 12 Player of the Year and helped lead the Jayhawks to a National Championship win in the 2021-22 season.
