Utah Jazz's Kyle Filipowski Sounds Off After Dominant Summer League

The Utah Jazz have yet to take home a win within their three showings in the Las Vegas NBA Summer League at this point, but throughout those three contests, it's been nothing short of an impressive set of performances from second-year big man Kyle Filipowski.

His most recent night vs. the San Antonio Spurs might've been his best. He finished with 32 minutes to collect 35 points and 11 rebounds, along with an assist and a steal that took Utah to an overtime effort against San Antonio, but still came up short 91-93 despite Filipowski's heroics.

Though, for summer league, the wins and losses aren't quite the most important takeaways, rather, they're more of a sneak peak of what these teams may have in their budding young talent. For the Jazz, they've seen Filipowski truly shine, emerging as the leading scorer in Vegas through three games, raising his stock as one of the more promising young bigs in the game heading into next year.

And after the Spurs game, Filipowski broke down his mindset heading into these summer showings in which he's made a major statement in–– largely with a focus on being a versatile and adaptable piece to whatever his teammates need from him.

"Every game is different, especially in the NBA," Filipowski said after his 35-point game vs. the Spurs. "Anyone can go off on any given night, and I think that it's all about the flow of the game, to be honest, and how I can help my team win that game. There's 10, 15-point games, but maybe more assists, maybe more rebounds, just affecting the game in other ways. Today, my team needed me to score a little bit more. So, just trying to read the game, understand what's needed from me in each game, and just be okay with how different each one goes."
