The Portland Trail Blazers are less than weeks away from heading to Las Vegas for NBA Summer League and their potential roster is starting to take shape.
Four players from last year's roster – Pat Connaughton, Cliff Alexander, Luis Montero and Noah Vonleh – are all slated to play in Vegas this summer. They will be joined by second-round draft pick Jake Layman, who plans to arrive in Portland in early July to practice with the rest of the summer league roster.
The Courier-Journal reported last week that point guard Russ Smith has also accepted an invitation from the Blazers to join the summer league roster.
