The Las Vegas Summer League—otherwise known as Christmas in July for die-hard NBA fans—is finally upon us. There is nothing quite like summer in Vegas. For ten glorious days, UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center is transformed into the epicenter of the NBA, with virtually every front office, coaching staff, and NBA media member circulating among this year’s draft picks, young up-and-coming players, retired legends, and everyone else in the known NBA universe.
This will be my eighth straight pilgrimage to Las Vegas for summer league. Starting Friday, July 10, I will be providing updates on all Wizards news that’s fit to tweet (@LedellsPlace) or publish on this very blog.
