Dante Exum continues to respond positively to Utah's off-season demand for improvement, scoring a game-high 26 points against Philadelphia in the NBA Summer League.
Point guard Exum also had 10 assists and five rebounds in the 100-94 win on Wednesday, after his 18 points against San Antonio two days earlier.
Fellow Australian Mitch Creek, who's trialling with the Jazz in the Summer League, played 14 minutes as a starting forward but missed his only field-goal attempt.
The 21-year-old Exum was challenged by Utah coaches in the off-season to increase his on-field leadership after an inconsistent NBA season.
He faces a make-or-break 12 months with the Jazz after averaging 6.2 points in 2016-17 before a spent most of the post-season on the bench.
Australian forward Jonah Bolden played his second game for the 76ers since being taken at pick 36 in last month's NBA draft.
Bolden had five points, shooting at just 22 per cent, and four rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench.
The 76ers' other Australian Ben Simmons did not play as he continues his recovery from a long-term foot injury.
But their 2017 No.1 draft pick Markelle Fultz impressed with 23 points.
Australian NBA prospect Mangok Mathiang was also in action on Wednesday, scoring two points and pulling down a team-high seven rebounds for Charlotte in their 87-82 loss to Detroit.
