That is a very nice surprise. He's got some potential.

Interested in seeing Shumpert lead this squad, and if he can grow into the combo guard role.

Interested to see if TH Jr could play himself into the rotation.

We'll see if CJ Leslie or AJ Matthews can make the fall roster. Can Toure Murry impress enough to get a call?

This is about all I could find on Vargas. Looks like his defense is what got him the invite.

I'm pumped that Shump is playing in the SL... I really like that his Adidas endorsement, etc. hasn't gone to his head

Actually it did but then the NBA made him shave it off.

HA! well played

Very excited for this years SL. I think this is a really good team and I like the format this year. THJ, CJ and AJ are guys i'm very interested in watching. AJ may be too light in the shorts to bang, but i'm more interested in his skill level and perhaps being on our D League team. I'm also interested to see Toure Murry. Could he be a possible surprise this year?

Very glad to see Shump in there trying to get some extra work in. We really need Shump to take another step up this year in his development.

that's the kid that went to Europe straight outta the 11th grade!

can't wait ti=o see these guys on friday

im happy that were giving tyler a chance

J'Covan Brown from outta Texas.. We might've just found our 3rd pg! He's not really super athletic, but can score.. heady playmaker, especially in pick and roll, His defense is above average. Just made a mistake, coming out too soon In My Opinion.. HOPE HE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO STICK HERE!!!
