Per GoBearcats:
Former Cincinnati men’s basketball standouts Landers Nolley II and Tre Scott will begin their NBA 2K24 Summer League seasons Friday with the New Orleans Pelicans and Charlotte Hornets, respectively.
In the 18th NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, all 30 NBA teams will play at least five games each. Each team will play four games from July 7-14. After each team plays four games, the top four teams will advance to the playoffs and participate in the semifinals on Sunday, July 16 (4 p.m. ET on ESPN and 6 p.m. ET on ESPN2). The two winning teams from the semifinal games will meet in the championship game on Monday, July 17 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
All 76 games of the 11-day competition will air live on the ESPN Networks or NBA TV, as well as streamed on the ESPN or NBA apps.
Nolley was a First-Team All-AAC selection last year, his only one at UC, averaging 16.8 ppg (eighth in the league) which was the most by a Bearcat since Jarron Cumberland in 2018-19. He was also the team’s second-leading rebounder at 5.8 per game. He posted career-best numbers in those two categories, as well as minutes (32.1), field-goal percentage (44.7), three-point shooting (41.7), assists (94), steals (36) and blocks (17). All of them were strong improvements from his 2021-22 season at Memphis as well.
Scott signed with the Calgary Surge of the Canadian Elite Basketball League in May, and he previously played two games for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2021-22. He played at UC from 2015-20, and as a senior became the first UC player since Dwight Jones in 1982-83 to average a double-double with 11.4 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. He was also the AAC’sDefensive Player of the Year and Sportsmanship Award winner among countless achievements.
