Judah Mintz posts 30-point game at Peach Jam

Pitt commit Judah Mintz extended what has been an impressive run with Team Durant at Nike EYBL’s Peach Jam event on Saturday afternoon, as he led the team to a 78-63 victory over The Family and came up with an astounding 30 points in the game.

The 6’4”, 170-pound shooting guard went off early in the contest, scoring 15 points in the first quarter and enabling his team to shoot out to a 29-18 lead by the conclusion of the first frame. To some degree, the star took his foot off the gas as the game wore on, but he continued to contribute on a consistent basis, adding four points in the second quarter, seven in the third quarter and four in the fourth.

Mintz’s success down in North Augusta, South Carolina, came as a result of his aggressive, physical play, as he attacked the rim constantly and got to the foul line on multiple occasions throughout the game. As a result, he scored 10 of his 30 points on foul shots alone and missed on just two opportunities from the charity stripe. In addition, he displayed good shot selection, as he went 9-for-16 from the field on the day, including a respectable 2-for-4 showing from beyond the arc.

So far at Peach Jam, Mintz has averaged 21.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game over a span of three contests. The Pitt commit has also converted on 48.6 percent of his shots from the field, made 33.3 percent of his three-point attempts and sunk 81.8 percent of the free throws he has taken. Team Durant is 3-0 and is currently scheduled to play two more games at the event.
