Potential quality 3D wing! The former Alabama power pitcher finally hits the level in the Thunder?

In a previous NBA Summer League California Classic, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 89-78. After this game, the Thunder won the first victory in the summer league, with a current record of 1 win and 1 loss; while the 76ers suffered two consecutive losses in the summer league.
In this game, Thunder's substitute backcourt rookie Chris Youngblood also regained his touch. Youngbrad played 22 minutes and 09 seconds in the game, made 4 of 7 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. With super high efficiency, he scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. He also made a foul, and the plus and negative value also reached the highest +11 in the game. Youngbrad also found his touch on the offensive end and seized the opportunity to hit more three-pointers, proving that he is a very excellent pitcher. His performance on the defensive end is also average, which can be regarded as not causing much trouble to the team. Overall, Youngbrad fully demonstrated his value in this game. The plus or negative value of +11 can also show that the situation of the team is also very outstanding when he is on the court, and he also made his own contribution to the team's victory.
In the previous game when the team lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, Youngbrad's performance was actually quite average. During the 21-minute and 05-second playing time, he made 2 of 8 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, 0 of 1 free throw, scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals, and had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -5. In the previous game, Youngbrad worked very hard on the defensive end and achieved good results, but he wasted a lot of shooting opportunities on the offensive end and did not show off his scoring ability and shooting ability. It seems that Youngbrad's adjustment ability is still good. He quickly found his due level in Game 2 of the Summer League.
Jan Brad was born in February 2002 and is 23 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 101kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. Last season, Youngbrad transferred from the University of South Florida to join the University of Alabama. In the NCAA game last season, he played 28 times for the University of Alabama, averaging 25.3 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 44.7%, three-point shooting percentage 38.8%, and 80.4% free throw shooting percentage. Youngbrad is a very good pitcher in the NCAA field, and he has made 39.3% of his three-point shooting percentage in five seasons in the NCAA field. In addition, he can also undertake certain tasks on the defensive end, and he is also a good defender. Young Brad looks like a potential 3D type winger and I don't know if he can play at a higher level in the next summer league.
