Graham Ike, a former Gonzaga Bulldogs forward, has added an NBA Summer League championship to his accolades while playing for the Golden State Warriors. His performance throughout the tournament has positioned him as a strong candidate for a two-way contract.

In the championship game, the Warriors achieved a thrilling 94-90 comeback victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Ike contributed six points, nine rebounds, three assists, and one block, despite shooting 1-for-6 from the field. This marked his ninth consecutive start in the Summer League.

Ike's standout performance came during the semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers, where he recorded an impressive 16 rebounds and 11 assists, shooting 6-for-10 from the field. His efforts in that game earned him a +10 plus-minus rating, highlighting his impact on the court.

Over the course of the Summer League, Ike averaged 9.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game, showcasing his versatility and strong post presence. With one two-way contract spot remaining on the Warriors' roster, Ike's leadership and skills could be invaluable as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
