It appeared like the undrafted rookie was playing with a chip on his shoulder as Marques Bolden had a renewed sense of energy and aggression in his first ever NBA Summer League Game on Monday night.
Not only was it Bolden’s first Summer League game but it was the first Summer League game of the summer in the SLC Summer League.
After declaring for the NBA Draft after his junior season, the big man out of Duke signed to play with the Cleveland Cavaliers over the summer.
In his first game with the team Bolden was in the starting lineup and posted 10 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks in 22 minutes of action.
