It was only a summer league game, but because Georges Niang was away attending the Nike Basketball Academy, ADIO Chiropractic needed someone to step up.
That someone would end up being a somewhat unlikely hero. Jordan Ashton, an ISU freshman walk-on, led the way with 47 points on 11-of-17 shooting from 3-point range.
While the performance was undoubtedly a breakout performance, Ashton has quietly been lighting up the league for weeks now.
Through five Capital City League games, Ashton is shooting 66.7 percent from 3-point range. That means Ashton has made twice as many 3-pointers as he has missed in the past five games.
