but summer league for guards is who can hit open shots and get the big's involved the most. The players get 10 personal fouls so it's basically gonna be street ball with NBA gm's watching.

So which guard will join these guys in the starting lineup? I would expect it to be an RGV guy, likely Jaron Johnson for his shooting unless they think they need Rice Jr's passing. Or they could go huge with Dekker at the 2 and Wood at the 3.
I'm pretty excited for Aubrey Coleman. A coog with a lot of game! I doubt he makes the team, but hopefully he impresses someone enough to get a shot here.
Glen Rice Jr. will also be playing in the Orlando summer league and being one of the members for the Magic B team. He will play max of 5 games there and probably 3-6 games more in Vegas.
Me too! He's a scorer, but size and lack of PG skills limit his time in the NBA, hopefully after spending several years in Europe he would be able to join a NBA team.

Always wondered what happened to him, once was a projected lottery pick and then dropped year after year. Cool to see him get a chance with us.
Me too. I thought maybe he had gotten injured or something. He completely fell off the radar. Hope he rediscovers his high potential game here.
