Second round rookie Jordan Miller also continued his anonymous Summer League, though perhaps his size and defensive contributions (combined with some extra patience for a new draft pick) have helped the coaches keep him on the floor.He was pulled after just 3 minutes in the third quarter and didn’t return, playing just under 15 minutes on the day. Despite having the highlight of the game, a truly breathtaking cross-court bounce pass in traffic to find Brown for a dunk, he had a mostly anonymous performance and his lack of speed continued to hurt the team’s offense. Speaking of Preston, the third year guard isn’t having the week he would have hoped for.He finished with 14 points on 5-9 shooting, 4 assists, and 0 turnovers in 20 minutes off the bench, playing almost the entire second half as the team went away from Jason Preston. Keaton Wallace, who didn’t play in the first 2 games and barely got on the court on Wednesday, had a really stellar offensive outing.

I think we all knew he wasn’t going to go 5 games without missing in the fourth. Xavier Moon, who has been the team’s leader all week, had a tricky shooting night and couldn’t quite take over down the stretch like he had in the first three games.Some other notes on important Clipper performers in this game:

A couple of scouting notes on Kobe’s game beyond just “he was great”: he’s looked better at center than PF alongside another big so far where he lands as a three-point shooter is yet to be seen (somewhere between the 23.5% he was shooting this week entering Friday’s game and the 70% he shot on Friday) but the volume in which he’s attempting them is a great sign and, while his defensive activity has shown up in the steals column all week, it’s at least worth noting that he had 7(!) fouls today to bring his total up to 19 committed through 4 games. After three games where he showed interesting signs and promising moments but didn’t put it all together, Brown was truly dominant in Friday’s game, clearly the best player on both ends of the floor from the tip to the final horn. We often make a lot of the fact that the play in Summer League is significantly below the quality level of the NBA, and that we’re looking for players to really pop and “graduate” form Summer League. Here’s one that will thrill the Clippers more than a chance to compete for the Summer League Championship: rookie Kobe Brown putting up a monster 35 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks while shooting 6-9 from two-point range and 7-10 from downtown. Still, while it would have been fun to see this crew play a game with stakes on Sunday–and a potential sixth game had they won and advanced to the final–there are more important things than the Summer League Standings. However, it wasn’t the margin that they needed to secure advancement to the Summer League playoffs, as a massive 28-point victory would have been required to pass the Brooklyn Nets on point differential to secure the lone spot available for a 1-loss team. Despite being down by 15 at halftime, the Clipper surged back to win the second half 61 to 35 and the game by 11 points.
