Syracuse fans know that at his best, Judah Mintz is a special basketball player.<\/p>\n

He’s now trying to use Summer League to convince Philadelphia 76ers leadership of that.<\/p>\n

Mintz did the best he could on Monday night, dropping 21 points in 24 minutes on 7-for-12 shooting (1-2 3FG, 6-6 FT). He added four rebounds, two assists and a steal.<\/p>\n

That followed up 11 points, four assists and three rebounds in Philly’s Summer League opener.<\/p>\n

The 76ers have strong guards, led by Tyrese Maxey and the No. 3 overall pick, VJ Edgecombe.<\/p>\n

But Mintz has done everything he can so far to make a case.<\/p>\n

He’s coming off a season in which he averaged 21 points and 5 assists per game in the G League. Clearly, Mintz can hoop.<\/p>\n

His outside shot was always a bit of a question mark, but if he can knock down some 3s in Summer League, that can go a long way, too.<\/p>\n

The thing about the summer, of course, is that Mintz isn’t just playing for his own organization. Any team in the league could spot Mintz and come after him.<\/p>\n

So it’s in the former Orange star’s best interest to keep putting on a show. You never know who might be watching.<\/p>\n
