Today is the final day of the Las Vegas NBA Summer League, with the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers squaring off in the league’s title game. But I didn’t follow the summer league for playoffs and largely meaningless trophies. I followed it for one player and one player only. No, it wasn’t Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball, although it was tough to avoid constant news about the Lakers’ first round pick.
No, I was only focused on Troy Caupain as he worked to make an impression, and maybe the roster, of the Toronto Raptors.
