We nearly had Boiler-onBoiler crim in the NBA Summer League out in Las Vegas. A.J. Hammons had 10 points, 5 rebounds, and a blocked shot for Miami against Memphis, but the Heat fell 98-85 in double overtime. That prevented Hammons from facing off against Caleb Swanigan in the semifinals.
The NBA people sound surprised, but we’re not. Caleb is playing like one of the best players in Las Vegas. How good?
Caleb Swanigan is on pace to become 4th rookie to average a double-double in Summer League (Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Marreese Speights)

That’s solid company for him in his first real taste of NBA action.
