RUSTON –
Kenneth Lofton, Jr. showed his dominance on the collegiate level as a Louisiana Tech Bulldog for two seasons. He did so again on the world stage as a member of Team USA in the U19 World Cup.
And now his "Bully Ball" is on display yet again, this time as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Junior played 15 minutes in the first game of the NBA Salt Lake City Summer League against Philadelphia, going 4-of-5 from the field while registering nine points and three rebounds.
He got the start in game two versus Oklahoma City and the No. 2 overall pick Chet Holmgren, and he put on a clinic. The power forward scored a game-high 19 points (drained two three-pointers) to go along with six rebounds and three assists.
Needless to say, Junior had social media buzzing.
