Golden guy Kerr gets his reward

LA Lakers guard Josh Hart was named the most valuable player of the Las Vegas Summer League, the NBA announced on Tuesday.

Hart, whose Lakers face the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night in the championship game, leads all players in scoring (24.2 points per game) in Vegas, while chipping in 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game in six contests.

The 23-year-old racked up 37 points and nine rebounds in Monday night's double-overtime win over Cleveland in the semifinals.

Hart averaged 7.9 points and 4.2 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game across 63 appearances (23 starts) as a rookie last season, shooting 39.6 percent from 3-point range.
