The Charlotte Hornets won 95-81 against the Oklahoma City Thunder in day 4 of the Orlando Summer League. Australian big man Mangok Mathiang played 21 minutes and contributed 8 points (4/5), 4 rebounds and a block.
Mathiang made the highlights today with a baseline cut and finish in the second quarter, followed by an emphatic block on Dylan Ennis shortly after.
His other buckets included a put-back, and a turnaround hook shot from the low post late in the third quarter, and an easy lay-in from a lob pass during the fourth quarter. More than anything else, Mathiang showed his ability to score in a variety of ways, mostly when he’s established position close to the rim.
Glad Mangok got a chance to play in the Summer League. Hopefully he can find a spot on a squad, and if not he'll make money playing overseas.
