Early in first quarter, Dragan Bender attempted to drive on Harry Giles who kept Bender completely out of the lane. Bender could not assert his dominance as the offensive player and was pushed entirely out and out of position for a layup or dunk attempt. Totally guided to the right side by Giles, he pulled up for about a 15-foot shot, or so.
Giles slammed it out of bounds and into the stands about three rows back…
This is the third Summer League for Bender, and while it’s only the Summer League, one would expect to see something of a discernible improvement from Bender, and yet not yet.
