Mavs' Dennis Smith Jr. named to All-NBA Summer League first team

The impressive splash made by Dennis Smith Jr. in the NBA Summer League didn't end in a championship run, but he did find a spot on the ALL-NBA Summer League first team.

Joining Smith of the first team is Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson, Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins, and Portland Trail Blazers forward Caleb Swanigan.

In six games, DSJ averaged 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 2.2 steals per game.

Many were impressed by the North Carolina State product's first showing in an NBA uniform.

SportsDay's Eddie Sefko attributed his summer league success to his driving ability, and being able to put the ball in the basket while drawing contact.
