    That would just be media and fan driven hype as far as height goes.

    Detroit had them both in for a workout so they got to see them up close and personal so their decision wasn't affected by what the ncaa or gleague had the players listed height wise.

    I would agree. But could envision a scenario where management is reading scouting reports and is swayed to take a closer look at a guy based on height. But I think that would be more for the 7 footers:

    @BimaThug Can you please tell me how much money do undrafted summer league players make? Is Garuba's buyout completed?

    Yes. It seems like the league is hyping the Rockets and Pistons summer league teams as they get the nationally televised games. The Detroit Houston game is on ESPN main which is pretty crazy for a summer league game.

    Makes sense though as it's the teams with the most hyped draft picks.

    Undrafted players in the summer league get paid nothing. It’s their tryout. The only thing they get is a small stipend to cover basic food/hotel costs during that 2 week span.

    Wonder what the summerleague starting lineup will be.

    Khyri Thomas
    Armoni Brooks
    Jalen Green
    Kj Martin
    Alperen Sengun

    Or

    Thomas
    Green
    Martin
    Garuba
    Sengun

    I think I like the spacing in the first one more. Bring Josh Christopher in as 6 man in both.
