Kendrick Nunn was the Golden State Warriors’ top priority as an undrafted free agent. Did he show some promise in Summer League?

Kendrick Nunn was an electric scorer coming out of college and the Golden State Warriors are hoping he can develop into a rotational guard for them in the future.

Nunn’s first opportunity to show the NBA what he’s got was in the Sacramento Summer League where he played 33.5 minutes per game over two games.

Nunn scored 14 points per game, grabbed 8 rebounds per game, dished 2 assists per night, and swiped 1.5 steals per game in Sacramento. He shot 10/28 from the field in those two games.

Nunn played in all four games during the Las Vegas portion of the Summer League schedule logging 23 minutes per game.

The undrafted rookie scored 11 points per game in Vegas while grabbing 4.5 rebounds with 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per night. He went 15/42 from the floor over four games in Las Vegas.

The first thing that stands out in Nunn’s Summer League stats is that he’s willing to let it loose. He averaged the most shots per game of any Warrior in Sacramento and tied for the lead in total field goals attempted in Vegas.

His field goal percentage was not pretty, but the ability to create his own shot is there.

His rebounding numbers are very good for a guard. He’s got decent size at 6′ 3″ and his athletic ability allows him to go for boards that most players at his position can’t.

You’d like to see better assist numbers from Nunn, and he’ll need to improve as a playmaker if he wants to have an NBA career.

Overall, I’d say Nunn had a solid Summer League and Warriors fans should keep a close eye on him in the G League this season.
