James Nnaji Swats Away Five Shots
1 year agoCharlotte Hornets center James Nnaji had his defensive abilities on full display against Minnesota on Saturday, recording five blocks in a 109-92 win. He did his bit offensively as well by contributing 10 points in 21 minutes on 3-for-5 shooting, and Nnaji completed his work with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal. The 18-year-old has now produced nine blocks across his last two Summer League appearances. Nnaji is still very young, but he has already played in the EuroLeague and was a regular for Barcelona in the Spanish ACB League throughout 2022-23. He is set to return to Europe for the upcoming season, but Nnaji appears to have all the tools to become a quality rim protector in the NBA.
