The Kentucky, I mean the Phoenix Suns summer league team advanced to the tournament finals behind a trio of Wildcats in Devin Booker, Archie Goodwin, and Josh Harrelson. Booker scored 31 to go with 9 rebounds, Harrelson added 19 points and 9 rebounds, and Goodwin contributed another 12 points and 6 rebounds of his own to lead the way.
