Most summer league rosters are typically comprised of players recently drafted or those about to enter their second seasons, players on two-way contracts, the undrafted and players from overseas. But this year, the Portland Trail Blazers have opted for a decidedly different approach to summer league roster construction, and it showed Sunday afternoon in their first game in Las Vegas.
With nearly 1,500 games of NBA experience, the Trail Blazers got their Las Vegas Summer League off to a rousing start with a 93-86 victory versus the Charlotte Hornets Sunday afternoon at Cox Pavilion on the campus on UNLV.
