Former Princeton Guard Devin Cannady wins G-League Finals MVP

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Former Princeton guard Devin Cannady scored 22 points and the Lakeland Magic won the NBA G League championship Thursday, beating the Delaware Blue Coats 97-78 at Walt Disney World Resort. Cannady was named the G League Finals MVP. 

Cannady was 9 of 16 from the field, hitting 4 of 9 3-pointers in the finale of the eight-team, single-elimination tournament at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Lakeland was seeded sixth in the playoffs after completing regular-season play 9-6.

Cannady earned a pair of All-Ivy League and All-District honors during his time as a Tiger. He finished as Princeton's fifth-leading all-time scorer with 1,515 points and is the program's leading free throw shooter by percentage, among those with at least 100 attempts, at .896.  His 268 made three-pointers rank third all-time in school history while his 81 made three pointers in 2016-17 and 80 made three-pointers in 2016-17 are the fifth and sixth most three-pointers made in a season by a Tiger.
 
Along with his individual accolades, Cannady was part of the Tigers 2016-17 team that won the Ivy League championship and went 14-0 in conference play.'
