With 3:20 left in the first quarter of a nondescript Summer League game, the Mavericks' second round draft pick checked in. A second round pick seeing his first action in Vegas usually goes unnoticed, as top prospects and lottery picks garner much of the attention. But this was the first Indian-born player ever selected in the draft.
Satnam Singh is an imposing presence. Standing at 7'2, he towers over much of his competition in Las Vegas. Yet at just 19 years old, Singh is also an incredibly raw, albeit groomed, talent. Since he has never played at this level of competition, no one knew what to expect when he entered the game.
