Trent Forrest: real NBA talent or Summer League superstar?

Earlier this summer the Utah Jazz re-signed Trent Forrest to a two-way contract. That move keeps the former Florida State point guard for at least another year after having him on a two-way deal for the 2020-21 season.

That re-signing came at the heels of Forrest’s great performance in the Salt Lake City Summer League. In three games he averaged 14.3 points and 9.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals. Later in the Las Vegas Summer League, he averaged 15.8 points, 6.8 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals in five games.

All told, in seven summer league games (a truly glorious sample size), Forrest’s averages amounted to 15.
