Despite being the last seed in 2016's Las Vegas Summer League, the Minnesota Timerbwolves offseason squad has made the championship game. Much of that success has been due to point guard Tyus Jones.
Through the semifinal game, Jones has averaged 19.4 points and 6.3 assists in 33.4 minutes per game. He's also shooting at a strong pace, good for 45.7 percent from the field. Those numbers have earned the rising NBA sophomore a first-team All-NBA Summer League nod as well as MVP honors in Las Vegas.
Jones is joined on the first team by Jordan McRae of the Cavaliers, Bobby Portis of the Bulls, Ben Simmons of the 76ers, and Alan Williams of the Suns.
The All-NBA Summer League second team includes Jaylen Brown of the Celtics, Thon Maker of the Bucks, Kelly Oubre Jr. of the Wizards, Norman Powell of the Raptors, and Tyler Ullis of the Suns.
The Timberwolves face the Chicago Bulls in the summer league final on Monday.
