This is truly a time for basketball die hards. Most of the stars have left Las Vegas to take a vacation, or get back to their regularly scheduled offseason workout plans. NBA teams are shutting down their best young players.
Late in the summer league is when guys on the fringes really get to prove themselves. For many this is the only chance they have to get in front of NBA scouts, coaches and front offices. For the fans that can mean watching some unfamiliar faces. But those faces can become household names one day, so it’s best to pay attention.
