    Best of luck in the tournament. Wish I could be there. I haven't been back for summer league since the Roy/Aldridge draft. Too much business, not enough fun. Hoping that changes for next season. Enjoy, and someone start a summer league thread for all of you attending to coordinate meet ups and posting photos in for us that will not be there.

    Scoot not playing is disappointing only from a selfish standpoint. I'm hoping that he'll be in Vegas practicing with the team and scrimmaging, just so he is getting familiar with Clingan.

    This decision by the team isn't shocking in the least bit. They had two pressers since the draft and during both of them took the chance to drive home that Scoot and Shaedon are the cornerstones of this team. What non-rookie who has been deemed one of the two players any team is building around is going to be playing in SL? This is almost just a reiteration of Joe and Chauncey's commitment to making Scoot a focal point of this team now and in the future. He's a guy that started 32 games last season and played 62 averaging over 28 minutes per game. He's not the same level of reps in SL, he'll get his reps in the pre-season and regular season.

    There’s nobody I really want to see in SL this year anyway.

    Yeah, I wanted him to play as well because watching Summer League would have been more interesting. I spent $75 on a streaming package this month so I got most of the games. But from a development standpoint, the 4-5 games in Vegas means nothing.

    I'll be watching just to see how many blocks Clingan gets, how he looks on the boards and if he can show anything other than Przybilla-esque cleanup offense. I would love to see Kris shooting the three with more confidence and therefore more consistency, it would be really cool given the roster if he really excelled on both ends of the court. Other than that Rayan will be interesting to see. Also interested to see what Cui (China) and Lee (South Korea) can bring; both coming from overseas leagues in Asia that haven't yet consistently turned out the talent that overseas leagues in Europe and Australia have.
