Miles Kelly made a strong impression in his NBA debut with the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 17 points in their Summer League victory against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kelly's well-rounded performance included shooting 50% from the floor and displaying notable three-point shooting skills, hitting three of eight attempts from beyond the arc. This performance outshined his teammate Cooper Flagg, who scored only ten points, as well as Lakers' Bronny James and Dalton Knecht, who managed eight and fifteen points, respectively. Kelly also contributed four rebounds and two assists, indicating his potential value to the Mavericks roster.

With consistency from the three-point line and solid defense being critical to making an NBA team, Kelly's impressive debut could signal a bright future in the league. The Mavericks will next face the San Antonio Spurs, which presents another opportunity for Kelly to solidify his standing within the team.
