2015 Summer League: He Tianju, the Luke Babbitt backup plan

Back in May, Andrew Crawford broke down the unheralded He Tianju and his game. It had been announced the Chinese sharpshooter would be auditioning for a role during the upcoming NBA Summer League schedule, yet he sat absolutely on no one's radar. However, it did appear he possessed an NBA-ready skill: perimeter shooting.
