making the trip this year.

FYI, the Orlando Summer League kicked off today. Henry Ellenson is playing now on NBA TV.

Wolfson said some other names on his last podcast. Keith Benson was one guy that I actually remember that he mentioned.

Zgoda tweets out the roster. As I predicted Ryan Saunders is the coach.

Lol yep Tim Layden and Tgibs knew the whole time they were going to get him!

I'm actually really e cited to see this squad. I'm looking forward to seeing what Dunn can do what progress Tuus has make both physically and being able to play the game. I'm curious to see if Payne can show something either to help us or to make a team want him. That seems unlikely but I guess anything under 3 million is cheap right? Lol. I'm interested to see Coty Clarke who seems like a guy with a real shot at making a roster in the NBA.

Heh, poor Adreian Payne....He's like a kid sent to summer school every year so that he can move onto the next grade.

Is there no age restriction in summer league? If they are 25 playing in summer league do you just cut them by default??

No age restriction. There are older guys that play. Remember it's also an audition for other leagues too around the world.

Yeah, even Greg Steinsma is playing and he's 30!

No rookie has played well so far...Simmons has shot terribly as expected and then hurt his calf. Similar to Payne last year, the experienced pros are dominating...Winslow, GR III, Kyle Anderson, etc.

The Knicks scored in the 40s their first 2 games, and then added Devon Booker and scored in the 90s!

Yeah funny seeing GR3 back there again.
