General manager John Hammond handed incumbent swingman Khris Middleton a five-year, $70 million contract this month, but it's another shooting guard who's garnering attention during Las Vegas Summer League competition. A rookie no less.
The organization selected Rashad Vaughn with the No. 17 overall pick in last month's draft, adding a shooter who should do a nice job of backing up Middleton in the short term. The UNLV product tallied 14 points in his summer league debut, and head coach Jason Kidd took notice.
"I thought Rashad was good," Kidd told reporters after the contest.
