Even though he didn’t record any stats for this play, Aaron White fought for the ball and tapped it out to Kelly Oubre Jr, who was then able to drive to the rim for an and-1. White is playing in summer league fighting for a job, and making hustle plays like this one are sure to help.
After making the layup, the lead was cut from 10 to 8 with under 4 minutes left, but the Wizards still fell to the Suns in the Las Vegas Summer League. Washington will have another chance to make up for the loss tomorrow at 4PM when they face the D-League select team.
Oubre finished his first summer league game with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and a block in 26 minutes of action while White finished with 4 points, and 4 rebounds in 19 minutes of play.
The pair of Oubre and White may not have the opportunity to play together this season, but they may have a chance to do so further down the road. If White does not make the team this season, he could spend some time overseas to train before joining Oubre and the Wizards in DC.
