Watch: Blake Wesley throws down vicious dunk in NBA Summer League
Injuries limited former Notre Dame guard Blake Wesley to 37 games in his rookie season with the San Antonio Spurs. Now with his second NBA season upcoming, it only made sense for him to play in this year’s Summer League. He’s eager to prove that he’s part of the Spurs’ future alongside rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama. At the very least, he’s capable of thunderous plays like this one in the Spurs’ second Summer League game against the Los Angeles Lakers:

The way he blows past Jalen Hood-Schifino and then leaps over Max Christie for the dunk is worthy of watching over and over again. That he did this against guys who definitely will play in the NBA this season is a promising look for him. As long as he stays healthy, he should give Gregg Popovich reason to give him many minutes. After that, it will be up to him to justify that decision assuming it’s made.
