Oregon Ducks have been making news for the Golden State Warriors in the offseason. Jordan Bell has been contributing all over the court throughout Summer League play. Chris Boucher just recently signed a two-way contract with the organization.
It was Dylan Ennis’ turn on Friday night. The rookie from Oregon exploded for 35 points thanks to eight made 3-pointers in the Warriors’ 109-100 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Ennis scored 23 points in the first half, knocking down six three pointers. Bell and Boucher crashed Ennis’ halftime interview on NBA TV, with his former Ducks teammates encouraging him to keep on shooting the ball.

He kept on shooting in the second half, scoring 12 more points to finish with 35 on the night. He finished 8-of-11 from behind the arc, along with seven rebounds and two assists.
Ennis shattered his collegiate career high of 22 points and his 35 points is the second-highest scoring game by any player in the 2017 Las Vegas Summer League. Ennis scored just 21 points in the Warriors first five games of the summer, shooting 6-of-22. In Friday’s win over the Clippers, Ennis shot 12- of-20.
Ennis made a strong final impression in the Warriors’ final Summer League game. It remains to be seen where he will end up come the start of the season, but his performance on Friday night only helps his cause.
