Summer League star gets real on potential 3-way deal with Heat


There has been great talk of the Miami Heat’s Summer League team and it is for good reason as they are currently undefeated during play in Las Vegas led by some standout players such as first round pick Kel’el Ware, Keshad Johnson, and Josh Christopher. However, one player that will no doubt be in contention likely for one of the three two-way contracts is point guard Isaiah Stevens with his impressive play.

Summer League star gets real on potential 2-way deal with Heat

Besides having the Heat all-time assists mark, the 8.5 also leads the Las Vegas Summer League, but another impressive statistic that is likely to be under the radar is that he has 41 assists to 12 turnovers in the four appearances. Acting as Miami’s floor general, he talks about his “unselfish” perspective when commanding the team during the winning streak as he creates outstanding opportunities for other players around him.

“I’ve been playing the point guard position a long time,” Stevens said. “So far to this point, I’ve been able to have a lot of team success in that way and I think it comes from being unselfish at the helm. Just trying to get guys opportunities, I feel like it makes them want to play with you even more, it makes them want to play harder because they know they actually have an opportunity of being rewarded at the end of a cut, when they’re open, as they’re moving. So I think it just brings the team together when that’s Stevens has been an impeccable play maker during his time in the Summer League where he even has the highest career-average for assists by a Heat player in the Summer League with 8.5. Currently on an Exhibit 10 camp tryout deal, Stevens spoke after the Heat’s dominating win over the Toronto Raptors Friday night, 109-73, as he talked about not paying too much attention on getting a two-way contract with the Heat according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald“I’m not really focused on all that right now,” Stevens said. “I’m just trying to show up every day and do my job here in Vegas. Whatever is for me is for me. I’m just trying to show up and make the most of opportunities. That’s all I’m.
