    Summer League is usually awesome, but what's even the point of sending a team like this?

    Stop trading away all of your draft picks!

    Well, some of us may want to see what Quadir and Bruce look like. :D

    We should tank the summer league games to get a better draft pick

    What do you mean it doesn't work that way?

    Guys I think are worth watching on this team:

    1) Bruce Thornton: Obviously, the Rockets had a first round grade on this kid. I hope he gets the keys to this SL team and can shine.

    2) Quadir Copeland: A PG with length and athleticism, I want to see what sort of all-around game he can show. Could be an intriguing flyer as a two-way guy for the Rockets this season.

    3) Isaiah Crawford: I think the Rockets really like Crawford, who has a versatile game. He needs to shoot better and more consistently from 3, but he can do a lot on the basketball floor.

    4) Tristen Newton: Still on a two-way with the Rockets, I'd like to see what a full summer with the team can do. He was a top scorer on a national champion at UConn but hasn't found an NBA home yet.

    5) Oscar Cluff: The lone big man of any note on this SL team, this will be a good opportunity to see if his ground-bound game will translate to NBA-level athleticism. I expect him to play a bunch and put up some numbers in Vegas. If he plays well, I'd expect him to get an Exhibit 10 deal from the Rockets.

    . . .

    6) Daishen Nix: While I'm not thrilled to see another high-usage guard on the roster, he is a #LotteryTalent. He's a quintessential AAAA player, dominating the G-League while seemingly unable to stick in the NBA. Maybe this is the summer he takes another leap.

    I’ll watch like I do every year. Although this year it will probably be with less interest, because no matter how well any of them play, they don’t have a chance of getting rotation minutes. I especially looking forward to seeing Bruce since I didn’t watch him play in college.
