Jared Jordan Tracker: Warriors (1-1)

Stephen Curry stole the show in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
With Golden State trailing Sacramento, 95-94, the Warriors' first-round pick cut through the lane and went up-and-under for a spectacular lay-up to give his team the lead. Following a Kings' moving screen violation, Curry calmly knocked down two free-throws to give the Warriors a 98-95 win, their first of the Summer League season in overtime.
The Warriors gave Curry an extensive look at point guard, which meant barely any minutes for Jared Jordan tonight. Acie Law IV also saw his minutes take a hit as Curry handled the load.
Curry played 36:45 out of a possible 42 minutes and tallied 29 points on 8-of-22 shooting. Cartier Martin chipped in a surprising 27 points, including several long three-pointers down the stretch. Anthony Randolph, the Warriors first-round pick last season, had another strong game with 24 points. Outside of those three, only Australia's 6-foot-8 forward Joe Ingles saw significant minutes. The rest of the team saw its minutes divided.
Jordan saw 4:12 of action to start the fourth quarter. It was not a memorable four minutes. Jordan ran an effective point but failed to score on his one true opportunity of the game. He ran a two-on-one break down the floor, attempting a running lay-up, only to have hit shot blocked by Sacramento's Michael Landry. Stephen Curry soon returned from the bench.
This game obviously served as an experiment for the Warriors' coaching staff. With Monta Ellis not really a true No. 1 guard, Curry was given the opportunity of playing the point for most of the night. He took a number of his patented long-range threes, connecting on a few, clanking some others. His performance from the free-throw line was the most impressive, especially in the clutch. The Davidson guard went 10-of-11 from the line.
Law saw his minutes drop significantly to 12:22. He also had a forgettable night. The former Hawks' lottery pick shot 0-of-4 from the field but dished out three assists with only one turnover.
The night ultimately belong to Stephen Curry, however. He went step-for-step with fellow top-10 pick, Tyreke Evans. Evans would have been the star had it not been for Curry's late heroics.
Evans scored a double-double, including 25 points. Law tried covering Evans when he was in the game, but Evans bigger frame made it difficult for Law.
Evans looked quite impressive, showing off his mid-range jumper while driving to the basket. His only weakness was from the free-throw line. His 7-of-12 effort made the difference in the end.
Jason Thompson, former Rider product, tacked on 17 points for the Kings on 5-of-10 shooting. He struggled from the free-throw line early but finished the night at 7-of 12. Thompson struggled on his mid-range jumper but proved to be a strong presence down low. Thompson did have nine fouls though.
Jordan and the Warriors will be back in action Monday at 10 p.m. against the Detroit Pistons.
