After being traded to the Portland Trailblazers this offseason, the team and Indiana Hoosier Noah Vonleh himself hoped the change of scenery would benefit the young forward. So far, so good.

Stellar play during the Samsung Summer League in Las Vegas earned him All-League Second Team recognition. Joining him are:

Larry Drew II (New Orleans)

Emmanuel Mudiay (Denver)

Dwight Powell (Dallas)

Alan Williams (Houston)

The first team consisted of:

Kyle Anderson (San Antonio) – Summer League MVP

Seth Curry (New Orleans)

Doug McDermott (Chicago)

Norman Powell (Toronto)

T.J. Warren (Phoenix)

Through Portland’s summer league run, he played 29 minutes per game, averaging 17.2 points, 8.5 rebounds. He also made 50% of his three-point attempts.

The Trailblazers have a gaping hole at power forward with the departure of LaMarcus Aldridge, and they are hoping Vonleh is the future at the position. Obviously this excellent play was in the summer league, but regardless, it’s a positive sign. Vonleh has a high ceiling and we are starting to see how good he could end up being.
