Mintz is hooping.
Syracuse fans know that at his best, Judah Mintz is a special basketball player.
He's now trying to use Summer League to convince Philadelphia 76ers leadership of that.
Mintz did the best he could on Monday night, dropping 21 points in 24 minutes on 7-for-12 shooting (1-2 3FG, 6-6 FT). He added four rebounds, two assists and a steal.
That followed up 11 points, four assists and three rebounds in Philly's Summer League opener.

The 76ers have strong guards, led by Tyrese Maxey and the No. 3 overall pick, VJ Edgecombe.
But Mintz has done everything he can so far to make a case.

He's coming off a season in which he averaged 21 points and 5 assists per game in the G League. Clearly, Mintz can hoop.
His outside shot was always a bit of a question mark, but if he can knock down some 3s in Summer League, that can go a long way, too.
The thing about the summer, of course, is that Mintz isn't just playing for his own organization. Any team in the league could spot Mintz and come after him.
So it's in the former Orange star's best interest to keep putting on a show. You never know who might be watching.
