I think this is the good call. Trae and Heurter played long, starter minutes and will again. Hope that they are both there though, just not to play
Bleacher ReportNBA Summer League 2019: Previewing Biggest Games on Las Vegas Schedule
Atlanta vs. Minnesota (July 7, 5:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2)
[T]wo of the top players in the rookie class are set for a head-to-head rematch on the third day of action in Las Vegas.
In April, De'Andre Hunter's Virginia got the best of Texas Tech and Jarrett Culver, but Culver now has a chance to earn revenge as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Hunter went to the Atlanta Hawks at No. 4 after they acquired the pick from New Orleans, who took possession of it from the Los Angeles Lakers in the Anthony Davis trade.
Minnesota sacrificed the No. 11 pick and Dario Saric to move up to No. 6 to select Culver, who was bypassed by Cleveland as it took Darius Garland at No. 5.
In the national title game, Hunter went off for 27 points while Culver struggled from the field by going 5-for-16 with 15 points.
It is likely the two will square off head-to-head on some possessions just like they did in April, and you would have to think Culver will carry more motivation into the contest because of his showing against Virginia.
Although the championship game will be three months behind them July 7, expect Culver to carry a bit more motivation to try and pull off a victory for Minnesota two days after facing Garland and the Cavaliers in his team's Summer League opener.
Nor Bruno, since the #57 pick we got from NOP that we sent to Philly is part of the AD trade.
