Illinois had two players participate in the 2015 NBA Summer League. How did they perform?
After graduating from Illinois in the spring, both Rayvonte Rice and Nnanna Egwu began preparations for the 2015 NBA Draft. Unfortunately neither of them were selected. However the good news is that they both secured contracts to play in the 2015 NBA Summer League.
The Summer League consists of a few separate week-long prospect camps in Las Vegas, Orlando, and Utah; professional franchises bring in prospects--both drafted and undrafted--to compete against each other. It gives fans a chance to watch their team's new draft picks while providing front offices further opportunities to estimate a player's ability against NBA competition.
