I believe the roster's 13 players max.
How'd this roster be:
C AJ Matthews, 7'1" 220 - Looks like he's already signed on. Intriguing. Let's find out what he's all about.
C Marcus Cousin, 7' 255
PF/C Jordan Williams, 6'10" 260
PF JaJuan Johnson, 6'10" 225
PF/SF Craig Brackins, 6'10" 230
SF Jeff Brooks, 6'8" 225 - Was supposed to be on the team last year but never played for us. Love what I see in that Penn State youtube clip. Looks very skilled and athletic. Seal the deal this time and let's get a firsthand look.
SF Gary Flowers, 6'8" 220 - One of the better DL forwards this past year imo. Can impact a lot of areas on the court.
SF/SG Jamelle Horne, 6'7" 215
SG Jermaine Taylor, 6'5" 205
PG Michael Loyd Jr., 6'1" 185
PG Curtis Jerrells, 6'1" 195
*SG Dwayne Davis, 6'5" 225 - They're calling this kid a "right-handed James Harden." Bring him in and let's see.
*SG/PG Durand Scott, 6'4" 200 - Shane Larkin's backcourt mate at Miami. If he can actually play some point, he could be very valuable. He's actually got value even as a smaller 2. Reminds me of Toney Douglas (and of what the Knicks thought TD could become) -- Scott's bigger by a few inches though and better in almost every area imo. I think this kid's a really sleeper in the draft. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he went in the 2nd round.
*Assuming the player goes undrafted.
Forgot about the 24th pick. Sub out JJ, Brooks/Flowers or Davis for our draft pick.
Siva, and Mbwake. I don't think there is anyway these guys don't get drafted but I think they will be good nba players and right now they are considered late second round picks.

Looks like they are searching for a younger K-Mart. I am not saying he is as talented as kmart but you know.
I saw that. I like the K-Mart comparison. Not terrible but I think there are better options. Cousin's bigger and more skilled/well-rounded; Jordan Williams is bigger and the better rebounder. Each guy could add better size, similar toughness along with other intangibles....Craig Brackins averaged the same amount of rebounds in college and is infinitely more skilled on the offensive end.
No one over 27 26 25 years old.
toure Murray? may get an invite
Remember Shump said he wanted to play in Summer League, so that's another roster spot.
Interesting twist to Summer League that should make it a bit more competitive...

Twenty-two teams, including squads featuring eight of the top 10 selections in the 2013 NBA Draft, will vie for a championship -- televised live on NBA TV -- at NBA Summer League 2013 in Las Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center and COX Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas, the NBA announced today.From July 12-22, 21 NBA teams and a team of NBA D-League Select players will compete for the inaugural NBA Summer League title.
