Viney tries to secure training camp spot

Former Lion Drew Viney, despite struggling through a tough shooting night Wednesday, continues to impress with his play during the NBA's Summer League. Playing in his third game with the Miami Heat, Viney contributed ten points, eight rebounds, a steal and a block in a loss to the Golden State Warriors. Viney shot 3-10 from the field.

Viney remains second on his team in scoring, trailing only Norris Cole, who was a key bench player for the NBA Champion Heat this past season. If he continues to play as he has this week, with confidence and energy on both ends of the court, Viney will surely land a spot on a team's training camp roster.

Viney did step to the free throw line with 9.6 seconds remaining on the clock, his team down two, but was only able to connect on one of his two free throws. After shooting 79 percent from the line in his collegiate career with the Lions, Viney went 2-4 from the line Wednesday. The Heat are now 2-1, with two more Summer League games to play, the next of which will be Friday at 5 p.m. against the San Antonio Spurs.
