Brooks Barnhizer today in 24 MIN: 19 PTS (16 in 2H) 9 REB 1 STL 2 BLK 0 TO 8-12 FG +18—game-high Led OKC into PTS, REB, & BLKs. INCREDIBLE cutting, comvrting defense to offense, high energy & motor. Likely into the Summer League playoffs. Oh, and — of course — 1 nose bleed.

Brooks Barnhizer's ability to 1) get steals and 2) do so without fouling is absolutely unmatched at the Las Vegas Summer League. Thirteen steals with just three fouls is absolutely ridiculous defensive work. No, this graph is not fake.

On Thursday, Brooks Barnhizer had 7 steals. Today, he had 6 steals. He is the first player in NBA Summer League HISTORY to register consecutive 6+ steal performances.

There have been two performances with 5+ steals at the Las Vegas Summer League so far. Brooks Barnhizer has both 5+ steal performances.

Brooks Barnhizer at halftime: 13 PTS (6-6 FG) — game-high 4 STL — game-high 4 REB Super active defense, getting to and hitting fadeaway jumpers, cutting incredibly well. Everything you want to see out of a future elite role player.

Earlier today, Brooks Barnhizer spoke to media about a flurry of topics, including his injury rehab, draft experience, time in OKC, and more. What stands out most is his fit with the Thunder's gritty, team-oriented culture. My story for @NU_Sports: nusports.com/news/2025/7/2/…
