obviously ivey and duren will play, balsa is confirmed, i think livers and saben lee might as well and potentially hayes? other than that it will be filled out by fringe roster guys.

Sharpe vs Ivey at Midnight?

yeah it's a shame that matchup is one that very few of us are going to watch. there'll be highlights though!

We got some fun matchups:

1. Ivey vs Sharpe
2. Ivey vs Mathurin
3. Ivey vs Johnny Davis

I’m really pumped! When do they release the full roster?

I also wish the games weren't on so late, but I do use DVR - wouldn't have cable without it, and still thinking of getting rid of it, since I only watch NBA and TCM.

I'm looking forward to seeing whether Braxton Key has continued to develop his shot. He made a lot of progress last season before and after we picked him up. Cade liked playing with him too. It'll be interesting to see Buddy Boeheim and if he looks like the next Luke Kennard. Weaver has a couple two way players that could help address our needs for PF depth and three point shooting down the road.

Given his history, there's a chance Saben Lee shows out in summer league. Maybe his value in a trade increases if another team ignores his dropoff when with the big club and thinks there's a mini Jaden Ivey somewhere in there.

During the summer league games keep an eye on Kyle Foster. A six foot five shooting guard from Howard University. He shot 45% from three-point line doing this senior year.

There's are the guys currently listed on our summer league roster. Will be interesting to see if Hayes or Lee get added as well.

PLAYER POS DOB LAST TEAM STATUS

Buddy Boeheim SG 11/11/1999 Syracuse (NCAA) Free Agent

Jimmy Boeheim SF 5/4/1998 Syracuse (NCAA) Free Agent

Jalen Duren C 11/18/2003 Memphis (NCAA) Drafted

Kyle Foster SF N/A Howard (NCAA) Free Agent

Jaden Ivey PG 2/13/2000 Purdue (NCAA) Drafted

Kameron McGusty SG 9/9/1997 Miami (NCAA) Free Agent

Charlie Moore PG 2/3/1998 Miami (NCAA) Free Agent

Stanley Umude SG 4/12/1999 Arkansas (NCAA) Free Agent

Gotta root for a guy with a name like McGusty to make it.

I hope Duren and Ivey play all the games. I love summer league. Glad all the games are on National TV.

Wow super surprised to see Cade and Bey going. They basically got huge minutes as main guys on the team all year. I thought there was a small chance Stewart would go and get up a bunch of 3s.

But cool for the young guys like Duren and Ivey to have the 2nd and 3rd year players there.

Where's Duren?

Duren isn't listed yet because Detroit hasn't traded for Kemba yet. Won't happen until July 6th officially. Which is strange I know, since we've already introduced him as a Piston at a press conference.

Duren will 100% be there, no worries

I nominate Balsa as our Luka replacement. I wonder if he's progressing enough to be on the bench next season.

Duren is not listed on the SL roster, but we all know he’s playing, right?

Well has anyone heard about Procida? Is he planning on playing for our SL team?
