As many as six players with Utah ties are expected to get their shot to make an impression with a pro team during the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, which begins Friday.
Summer league rosters are still subject to change before the tournament, and as of Wednesday night, one NBA team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, has yet to announce theirs. That leaves the door open for other Utah ties to be playing in Las Vegas or for those already announced to miss out.
Among rookies, former BYU guard Elijah Bryant was named the Philadelphia 76ers’ 17-man summer league minicamp roster, while former Utah forward Tyler Rawson is a part of the Orlando Magic roster for the Vegas tournament.
