What do you make of Summer League?
In one sense it feels vastly important. It is the first look most fans have of the players the team has just selected in the Draft. It is those players’ first exposure to the NBA game in a very real way.
It feels significant not just because of the attention it garners in the dead spot of the NBA season. It feels important just because it is data to log and think about.
Then again, these games are not important. Players are playing roles they will not be asked to play in the regularseason.
