Saddiq Bey was one of three players elevated from the USA Select Team to Team USA along to fill in for players who are still playing in the NBA Finals. While it’s likely the honor is only temporary, it’s a sign that Bey, despite just concluding his rookie season, plays winning basketball on both ends of the floor.
Be it in the NBA or on the national stage, Detroit Pistons 19th pick from last year draft, Bey is making strides. In his rookie campaign in the best sport league in the world, he was awarded with Eastern Conference Player of the Week honor and was on pace to break the all-time record of most made triples by a first-year player, where only the shortened season could stop him.
