TBT’s Team Fredette got a lot stronger today with the addition of former BYU big man Brandon Davies.

Davies took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to announce that he would be joining his former Cougar teammates, Jimmer Fredette and Charles Abouo to compete in the 72-team tournament with the $2,000,000 prize.

The announcement comes just five days after Davies tweeted out that if he added 1,000 new followers on Twitter in the next week then he would play in the tournament.

Davies, who is in his second year with Team Fredette, is joining an already loaded roster featuring Fredette, Abouo and former New Mexico star, Darrington Hobson.

Team Fredette is the No. 2 seed in the Midwest and will play on July 21, 2018, in Columbus, OH against the winner of a play-in game.

In NBA Summer League action, more games times have been released, including more chances for Kyle Collinsworth and Elijah Bryant to show what they can do.

Collinsworth’s Mavericks are back on the floor this afternoon to square off with the Chicago Bulls while Bryant and the 76ers have to wait until tomorrow to play the undefeated Phoenix Suns.

Through three games, Collinsworth is averaging 2.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 17 minutes.

As for Bryant, he is averaging 1.5 points on 50 percent shooting from the field with 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in two appearances.

In a 96-74 win for Can Oruro over La Salle Olympic, the former BYU forward finished with a game-high 26 points on 10-for-16 shooting from the field including 3-for-7 from beyond the arc and 3-for-5 from the foul line.
