Florida Gator legend Walter Clayton Jr. has been fitting in just fine with the Utah Jazz during the NBA Summer League, a showcase for rookies, second-year players, and other G-League players teams want to get more work out of.

Clayton had his best outing of the Summer League on Tuesday when Utah beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 86-82. Clayton had a game-high 20 points off 4-10 shooting from three and was 6-6 from the free throw line.

What has continued to impress Utah fans, and something Gator fans already knew, has been his passing. He had four assists in the win but never feels like he is trying to force things up for the Jazz.

Jac Caglianone goes deep again

It's been up and down for Jac Caglianone during his first full month in the majors. After completing a speed run through the minor leagues, Caglianone experienced some bad luck with hard-hit balls that were still outs. However, 28 strikeouts against just five walks in 32 games have him sitting with a .151 batting average and a .491 on-base percentage.

But on Wednesday, he went viral after a towering home run that showcases what he is still capable of if he can put it all together.

After hitting a home run on Tuesday, Caglianone went yard again on Wednesday with a towering 466-foot blast that cleared the center field batter's eye and nearly reached the fountains in Kansas City.

Ben Shelton's run at Wimbledon comes to an end

Former Gator Ben Shelton became the youngest American since Andy Roddick to reach the quarterfinals of three different majors, but he ran into a buzzsaw when he took on No. 1 Jannik Sinner.

Shelton stayed competitive with his serve and had 14 aces, but he had no answer for Sinner in any kind of rally and went on to lose 7-6, 6-4, 6-4.

The future is still bright for Shelton, who came into the tournament ranked No. 10 in the world despite being just 22 years old.
