Bulls’ Javon Freeman-Liberty receives summer league honors

This summer proved fruitful for the Chicago Bulls. Obviously, they re-signed Nikola Vucevic and Coby White, and they brought in veteran free agents Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig. However, summer league was also a great opportunity for them to evaluate young talent, and it worked out well.

Dalen Terry didn’t play as well as the team may have hoped, and Julian Phillips was OK, but point guard Javon Freeman-Liberty was phenomenal. The 23-year-old guard put up great stats throughout the summer and was by far the best player on Chicago’s team. For his elite play, the guard earned summer league honors.

As announced by the NBA’s PR Twitter account, Freeman-Liberty was named to the all-summer league second team.

In five summer league games, Freeman-Liberty averaged 21.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1 blocks per game while shooting 49.3% shooting from the floor and 46.2% shooting from behind the 3-point line.

Joining Freeman-Liberty on the second team were Emoni Bates of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Max Christie of the Los Angeles Lakers, Xavier Moon of the LA Clippers, Jabari Smith Jr. of the Houston Rockets and Jalen Wilson of the Brooklyn Nets.

The all-summer league first team consists of Keyonte George of the Utah Jazz, Sam Merrill of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Robinson of the Miami Heat, Hunter Tyson of the Denver Nuggets and Cam Whitmore of the Houston Rockets.

Freeman-Liberty is very clearly an NBA player, and the Bulls need to keep him around, because if they don’t, another team will.
