Nice game for Jack Salt in Suns Summer League win

Contributors

You have to feel good for Jack Salt, the member of the UVA basketball national championship team that the diehards wondered for years why he even got on the floor.

The 6’10” New Zealander got his most extensive action of the summer with the Phoenix Suns Summer League team on Friday, and made the most of it, scoring six points and pulling down three rebounds in 12 minutes off the bench in a 94-62 Suns win over China.

Jack. Freakin’. Salt.

The undrafted free agent center averaged 3.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game for Virginia in 2018-2019, shooting 60.2 percent from the floor.

A defensive specialist, the 6’10” Salt started 106 games over the past four years at UVA, which compiled a 118-25 record in his four seasons on Grounds.
