Sim Bhullar is the other one that intrigues me. With his size and position, I see him being a project for the Kings for the next couple years regardless of how he does in Summer League. If they could get him on a good fitness plan, and really help him work on his skills. A guy that size should have a space on an NBA roster.
On the other new names, aside from the obvious Nik Stauskas, (whom I am sure everyone is looking forward to seeing). The other rookies are more than likely going to be D-League prospects. One interesting name is Dwayne Jones, who has 5 years of experience in the NBA, and is 7-10 years older than almost everyone on the roster (he is 31). Great to see an older guy get another chance to prove himself.
This mini-camp aspect is an interesting one. I do not recall us doing that before, but I could be wrong and that could be a yearly tradition. It gives the guys an opportunity to get to know each others' games before stepping out on the court with them. So far 3 games are scheduled, with at least 2 more being contingent on the Kings' standings. The Scheduled games are as follows:
All in all it looks to be a very interesting year in summer league. Be sure to check out the press release on the Kings' web site for even more info.
What do you hope to get out of Summer League? Any of the new faces intrigue you?
