Two of the NBA's top draft picks, Jalen Green and Cade Cunningham, put on a show in Tuesday night's summer league matchup between the Rockets and Pistons.
Green came into his own after a rough start, posting a 25 point, five-rebound performance as the Rockets defeated the Pistons 111-90 in Las Vegas. The No. 2 pick in the 2021 draft, shot 6-of-11 from the floor including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. Houston (2-0) picked up its second win in summer league action while also recording a summer league-high 111 points as a team.
No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham did not disappoint either, dazzling the crowd inside Thomas & Mack Center with strong, physical finishes in the paint while shooting 8-of-18 from the floor including 4-of-9 from three-point range for 20 points, four rebounds and two assists in the Pistons second loss in summer league play.
