In Monday’s NBA Summer League play, Cam Boozer continued to impress. He racked up 21 points in 29 minutes, and also had 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 assists. Passing is a part of his game that people will eventually just see as part of what he does, but he’s really, really good at it.
Look at the following video. On the second play, he falls with the ball and makes the perfect pass, then removes to make the folllow-up. On the third clip, he makes a brilliant outlet. And as Cedric Coward said, it’s hard to believe he’s just 18. There’s more, too. In particular, watch his footwork. The guy is years ahead of schedule.
Also, Boozer and the Memphis Grizzlies came to terms and he signed his contract Monday.

Khaman Malauch continues to show sharp improvement for Phoenix: instead of making a macho play and blocking the shot out of bounds, thus giving it back to Dallas, he tips it to himself, essentially stealing the ball. This is how you block shots.
Maluach had 15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists, and a steal for Phoenix, all in 20 minutes of court time.
In many ways, he no longer looks like the skinny, uncertain freshman he was at Duke. He’s far more powerful and confident now.
