I noticed DJ Cooper (Wizards), Javon McCrea (76ers), Nathan Boothe (Heat), Kyle Randall (Magic/White), Xavier Silas (Timberwolves), Rayshawn Simmons (Wizards), Shayne Whittington (Pacers) and Richaun Holmes (76ers) playing in the NBA Summer Leagues in Las Vegas and Orlando. Is there anyone else missed?

Nice to see, but summer leagues are say 10 players playing on a team so that one or two top prospects have a team to play for.

That said, I say to the players in the NBA Summer League: Enjoy. Basketball is what makes them tick and play as long as feasible.

McCrea only played with 76ers in the Utah Summer League, but didn't make it to Vegas

Indeed. If they get a paycheck, let them play until age 62 (or 63)... when Social Security kicks in.

Hmm I wonder where Chris Fowler is? He had by far the most NBA potential and I see Simmons and Randall from CMU in there. Basketball news is hard to find opposed to football.

Most potential of whom? Small guard with weak shooting skills? Very good at the MAC level but NBA?

I was saying of the CMU players. He was listed as the #80 player before the draft. Surprised to see Simmons and Randall there and not him. Fowler had very high praise.

Cooper has been the starting PG for the Wizards, playing about 21min per game through 3 games. 4-9 shooting and averaging about 5rebs and 4asts. Playing solid but not trying to take over games like he used to so not drawing much attention.

Maurice NDour signs 2yr deal with Nicks after playing for team in last year's summer league.
