With the NBA Summer League starting up tomorrow, I know there are people like me that are sick enough of sports fans to watch even preseason basketball.

Here's an article previewing the teams playing in Orlando and the key players to watch for:

IIRC the Pels have Patric Young from UF and Russ Smith from the Ville on the summer roster, some pretty big names in college ball that should be interesting to watch

If you go as an UDFA or are a member of a D-League team not sent down by an NBA team, you can basically tryout for two teams

The Pels play in Vegas so this writer will probably do another article before they get underway

That was the one year I was really into summer league ball. Rodney Stuckey was going off too, I thought they were both future all-star caliber players.

Would have been fun to see him and Embiid on the court together but I guess that may have to wait a little while longer

We are probably a year away from that then only 2 years away from seeing them play with Dario Saric

that's alright with me. Like I...I mean the writer said it's like they are tanking a few years to get a solid young team together and then just unleash it

Sucks James Young might not be able to play. Marcus Smart will still be fun to watch.

Orlando should be another one. Dipo and Payton are going to be a tough to score on.

I'm also quietly hoping to see a Steven Adams and the Grizzlies new draft pick Jarnell Stokes get into it today. They are both built like tanks.

I'm planning on going to some games Wednesday and Thursday. It's pretty fun to watch games with so few people in such a small environment

Just turned to the game and its 49 to 20. I assume Mason is going in dry.

Plumlee and Lopez is a very good young front court for Lionel to utilize in Brooklyn.
