Amile Jefferson Killing it in Summer League

[Voldukie]

Amile is mashing Summer League so far with the Magic

Game 4 - 18 pt. 8 reb (27min)
Game 3 - 24 pt. 15 reb (27 min)
Game 2 - 13 pt. 9 reb ( 29 min)
Game 1 - 8 pt. 4 reb (15 min)

Also, not surprisingly, he is tasked with defending the best scorer on the floor in the frontcourt and has been lockdown. Noted that i notice he is contesting / blocking shots lefty now, which allows for greater contesting to a righty shooter without likelihood of fouling.. Hope he gets a permanent spot ala Quinn did in GS with the Magics full roster. He is one of my all time favs.

This is great to hear! I don’t know how you could be a Duke fan and not love Amile. He gave us every ounce he had. I really hope a long NBA career pans out for him

Completely unselfish. Very proud of his connection to Duke. Superb human being.

Amile, Cook, Scheyer, et al. I’ll take those kind of scrappers and fighters with a work ethic second to none all day, everyday.

Other than Winslow, probably my favorite player of the last 5 years. (Zion doesn't count; he's on another level). I remember when he committed. We were not getting everyone back then. It was a big get for us.

Amile has dominated Summer League and G-League ball for several years. He led the G-League in rebounding in 2018. His rebounding alone should keep him in the league. He's a restricted free agent for Orlando. IMO, he has nothing left to prove at this level. Orlando needs to either give him a chance or let him find someone else who will.
