Markquis Nowell Embarrasses Himself At NBA Summer League

Welcome to the NBA, rook.

Kansas State standout Markquis Nowell committed the worst crime a shooter in the NBA can achieve: confidentially turning your back on a shot attempt without having the shot go in.

Pioneered by Golden State Warriors sharp-shooter Stephen Curry, turning one's back to the basket is the ultimate sign of disrespect against the defense.

Nowell went for the 'Steph Curry' after a three-point attempt in Wednesday's Summer League game, and the 5-foot-7 guard completely embarrassed himself with a bricked shot.

WATCH:

A player has to have tremendous gall to go for that. As an undrafted player, Nowell should've probably been humble about the shot attempt ... especially with Toronto down 15-3. Instead, Nowell was left humbled.

Nowell shot a putrid 2 of 13 in Toronto's game against the Detroit Pistons.

The undrafted Wildcat finished with nine points. He signed a two-way deal to join Toronto this summer.

The Raptors lost the exhibition game, 94-90.
