In this story:

Last season, DJ Steward helped the Maine Celtics reach the G League Finals. That includes registering a game-high 27 points, generating 19 in the final frame of their victory in the Eastern Conference Finals, propelling them to the championship round for the first time in club history.

That's after averaging 19.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and close to a steal per game in the regular season. The former Duke Blue Devil also drilled nearly 36 percent of the 7.1 threes he hoisted.

The Chicago native is suiting up for his hometown team at NBA Summer League, where the 22-year-old guard is producing 17.4 points, 6.4 assists, and 1.4 steals. He's also launching six threes per contest and converting them at a 40 percent clip.

DJ Steward was on FIRE tonight! 🔥
