<font face="book antiqua,palatino" size="3">Personally, I don't get worked up about how first round draft choices perform in their rookie summer league games, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying was are now becoming major events in the NBA year. The NBA is doing a better job of marketing the Summer Leagues this year and the streaming video from Vegas has been a godsend for us hoop junkies. You can follow the Vegas action here</font></p> <font face="book antiqua,palatino" size="3">NBA.com has a blog from one of their feature writers for fans to keep up on the action as well as the streaming video from Vegas. The Orlando Summer League will be kicking off as well. You can follow the Orlando action here.</font></p> <font face="book antiqua,palatino" size="3">My favorite thing to watch is the undrafted players and the fringe veterans that are all fighting to get training camp invites in the hope of landing a roster spot and an NBA contract.</font></p> <font face="book antiqua,palatino" size="3">Seeing Jelani McCoy and Pops Mensah-Bonsu grab 13 rebounds each in a game, Will Blalock dish out 7 assists in a game where players are looking to go one on one and prove themselves, Pierre Pierce drop 21 points and Brandon Wallace getting a chance at SF after being an undersized Center in college are the story lines that keep feeding my basketball jones.</font></p> </p> <font face="book antiqua,palatino" size="3">So what have you seen from the Summer League games that has impressed you?</font></p> </p> </p>
<font face="book antiqua,palatino" size="3">I forgot about the Rocky Mountain Review in Salt Lake which will start on July 13. The website is here</font></p>
I just watched the second half of GSW-PHI, that was an interesting game.</p> Thaddues Young showed me nothing, Louis William had some potential and very Monta Ellis like (you see Williams dunk?!)</p> Marco Bellinelli also has a sweet shot, he will be a player if he gets the time. Great 3 point shooter, spot up several times on the break. Powell had a nice game aswell, had a great spinmove,.</p>
Marcus Banks set a new Vegas record by scoring 42 points last night in a game against the Cavs</p> </p> http://www.nba.com/summerleague2007/games/...meId=1520700018</p> </p><table border="0"
