The NBA’s Summer League is where fans and teams alike can get a first glance at their draft hauls and other promising young players in the franchise system. This year, because of the delayed NBA season start, the draft was moved to late July and the Summer League started about ten days after that.
Held in Las Vegas on the campus of UNLV, all 30 teams across the league participate in this nine-day basketball bonanza, playing about five games each. The rosters are made up of mostly rookies, with some veterans and other young players who have spent time overseas, now vying to make an NBA team.
