Yeah, it should be exciting to watch

Wow Jamal Sampson is still trying to make a team? LOL

Cartier Martin is a prototypical Nellie player. I'd keep an eye on him.

Lawrence Hill could be a good glue player for a team. I think he had one of the highest PER ratings in college.

That's a freakin SL dream team. Jared Jordan (avged 11 pts/9ast/2stl in D-League last season), Cartier Martin (averaged 20/6 in the D-League last season), Lawrence Hill is a 6'8 guy with SF skill from Stanford, Joe Ingles was supposed to get drafted- an apparent 6'8 point forward/SF type, Atchley was decent for Texas- hes a big man with a nice J, Roberts put up good numbers in Europe last season. Wonder if the higher-than-usual level of talent has to do with some summer leagues not running this year and some teams not playing a summer league team. There's a few guys there who could sneak onto the team a la Morrow/Barnes/DeMarcus Nelson before them. Maybe Nellie is looking for decent end of the bench guys assuming Azu/Beli/other depth is going to be moved this offseason.

Plus Curry, Randolph, Morrow, Jermareo. Anyone else kinda pissed about Law/J. Jordan being on the team? Seems like they're just going to take up Curry's minutes at PG.

Summer: school is out, the fog is in, and the Warriors have a shot at winning it all. “It,” of course, being the annual Las Vegas Summer League. This year the team will be rolling out two starters from last year’s regular season squad and two new backcourt acquisitions. No, Marco Belinelli will not be dazzling the crowd for a third straight year. With Anthony Randolph on the roster, however, I doubt the Vegas fans need to worry about a lack of excitement.

I’ll be covering in person one Vegas Summer League game this year, but the NBA should have others available for viewing on its cable network and over the internet. Since the commentary on those broadcasts often consists of an out-of-work boxing hype man shouting the names of players (including at least five variations on “Belinelli”), here’s a brief guide of who the team expects to field. Keith Smart, as usual, will coach.

Anthony Randolph — The Randolph we saw during last year’s summer league was very much the player that made appearances for brief spurts early in last season. He was all raw aggression, endless athleticism, and a burning desire to make every play a highlight. Those games provided our first introduction to Randolph’s special blend of “it.” This summer shouldn’t be an introduction, but a coming out party. Randolph is reportedly taller and stronger. And as we saw on the court to end the season, he’s certainly more controlled and collected in his game. Guys like Randolph typically can’t wait for opportunities to prove themselves against real competition. The rest of the Vegas League should be put on notice. Last seen: carrying the hopes and dreams of Warriors fans.

Stephen Curry — As with Randolph last year and Belinelli the year before, the summer league may set a lot of our initial expectations regarding Curry. Belinelli demonstrated how the league’s ragged play favors shooters, so this year’s rookie should have an advantage. Since Nelson has already reportedly moved him ahead of Monta in the point guard depth chart, I’ll be curious to see how much time he gets running the offense — and how well he manages it. Nothing would do more to help his point guard cred than developing a little early chemistry with Randolph, particularly on the pick-and-roll or drive-and-dump. We’ve all heard the high praise; Vegas will be Curry’s first opportunity to back up words with actions. Last seen: breaking Steve Kerr’s heart.

Anthony Morrow — Morrow, like Curry, should have his way with the lax and disjointed defense of the summer league. Towards the end of last season Morrow demonstrated an improving ability to create his own shot, which should also serve him well on a team that is unlike to have many offensive sets. Randolph and Morrow have reportedly been working out together all summer, so they should already have a good feel for each other’s games. Morrow should use this summer league as an opportunity to demonstrate defensive intensity and unselfishness — skills that will help make him more than just another pretty jump shot. Last seen: leading the NBA in three-point percentage.

Jermareo Davidson — Just as Davidson began to settle into the Warriors’ system and gain some confidence last season, he broke his foot. The little we saw before the injury was encouraging — decent rebounding, a sweet mid-range jump shot, and general hustle play. Rob Kurz is out of the picture, and I’m guessing Davidson’s play is a big reason why. He can play either power forward or high-post center for Nelson and provides a nice change of pace from all the other big men on the roster. Whether or not a Stoudemire trade goes through, I’m guessing Davidson finds a place on the 09-10 roster. Last seen: helping the Warriors dress a league minimum eight men.

Acie Law — Randolph carries the highest expectations and Curry is the most eagerly anticipated unknown, but Law may have the most to gain by a solid summer league performance. The Warriors’ point guard spot is still very much open for the taking. On paper, Law is in a perfect position to seize it. Marcus Williams, however, taught us that things don’t always work out like they should on paper. If Law can run the team — and I mean “run” in both the management and sprinting senses — he could earn some valuable trust from the coaching staff. Although I don’t hold high hopes for him to be a long-term solution at the position, he’s young and getting a fresh start. He could be a pleasant surprise. Last seen: facilitating Jamal Crawford’s relocation.

In addition to these roster players, there are plenty of new faces:

Jared Jordan — Those looking for a true point guard to help the Warriors may find one in Jared Jordan. The 6-2 Marist College product led the nation in assists for two years and was snagged by the Clippers in the 2007 second round. He spent the last two preseasons in the Knicks and Hornets camps and is an early favorite to be in the Warriors’ camp this fall competing for a roster spot. Last seen: averaging 8.8 assists in 30 minutes for the Vipers of the D-League.

Jamal Sampson — Cousin of former Don Nelson / Warriors’ big-man mistake Ralph Sampson, the Cal product has bounced around the NBA for 5 years. He’s been haunted by questions regarding his motivation and was out of the league entirely last year. With the Nuggets in 06-07, he averaged a rebound every 2.5 minutes — a rate that likely grabbed the Warriors’ attention. If we’re suddenly thin in the front court due to trade, Sampson might get more than a cursory look. Last seen: getting waived by the Dallas Mavericks.

Joe Ingles — A 6-8 guard / forward from Australia, Ingles looks to be a classic Nelson player. He’s known for both his passing and long-range shooting, ranking 4th in the league in assists while connecting on over 45% of his shots last season. Potentially a Toni Kukoc-like mismatch, Ingles should get a serious opportunity to demonstrate that he could be an end-of-the-bench glue guy for Nelson. Last seen: winning the Australian league title.

Connor Atchley — The 6-10 power forward / center from Texas is going have a hard time moving ahead of guys like Davidson and even Sampson in the depth chart, but brings some intriguing skills to the table. He’s got great shooting touch, some nice finesse moves around the basket and NBA size. It doesn’t sound as if he has a Rob Kurz-like motor, however, which may set back his chances with the team. Last seen: ending his 5th year at Texas with a whimper.

Lawrence Hill — Those who watched Stanford basketball regularly can weigh in on the 6-8 small forward. From what I can tell, Hill is a good shooter that likely lacks the complete game and athleticism to become and NBA player. Then again, that’s what they said about Anthony Morrow before he embarrassed 29 other general managers last year. We can never have enough good shooters, so I guess there’s always an outside chance Hill could show the team something new this month. Last seen: earning All Pac-10 honorable mention starting every game last season for Stanford.

Cartier Martin — Of the new faces, Martin may be the most NBA proven. He played in 33 games for the Bobcats last year, averaging 2.6 points. His playing time tapered off towards the end of last year and the Bobcats apparently didn’t invite him back. I have a hard time seeing a 6-7 small forward with not-so-great shooting and relatively weak rebounding beating out the other guys on this list for a roster spot. Last seen: joining Wright and Davidson as members of the “Bobcats West” contingent of the Warriors.

Quan Prowell – Only 6-8, but high-flying and hard-nosed around the rim. He entered the 08 draft but questions over his age (he’s two years older than is typical for his class) and off-court issues likely hurt his stock. These types of guys — possessing the athleticism but not the skills for the NBA, or vice versa – typically fill-out summer league rosters. Prowell probably needs to best Davidson to have a shot at getting a camp invite. Last seen: impressing scouts during the 08 Portsmouth Predraft Camp — but not enough to actually get drafted.

Lawrence Roberts — The 6-9 former Mississippi State forward / center brings the most bulk to the summer league team at 235. He was SEC player of the year in 03-04 — always an honor that earns a player an extra look — and finished third in player of the year voting behind Jameer Nelson and Omeka Okafor. Despite the honors, he was picked at the end of the second round by the then-Sonics, traded to the Griz, then let go after the 07 season. He played in 2007 for the European powerhouse Olympiacos, but was let go three months later and ended up in the Serbian league. Last seen: as the power forward for Red Star Belgrade.

From the days of Elie and Askew to modern examples like Watson and Kurz, Nelson likes nothing more than to find — and shine — diamonds in the rough. This year’s summer league team features five players that will make the Ws’ roster and earn minutes, but it may also contain some of those hidden, forgotten, or marginalized players that suddenly blossom in Nelson’s system. Stay tuned to see who may suddenly find himself whisked from the D-League or European outposts to the front of an NBA rotation.
