Both have already signed contracts with overseas teams this off-season. Leunen signed an one year extension with his Italian club Cantu. Newley signed a two year deal to play for Euroleague club Lietuvos Rytas in Lithuania.
Just by strange coincidence I will be there with my brothers on the weekend of the 9th through 11. I will definitely try and check out one of the games while I am there. Most likely the Dallas game on Saturday.

Our roster seems kind of stacked with potentially 4 regular rotation guys on it. That's going to be one quick team.

I predict Gary Forbes will be the next Rockets summer league favorite. He'll score in an assortment of ways and look polished doing it.
Ah, it was a good 3 year run with my upload there, the announcer calls disguised as highlights It has 22,000 views. I'd say 15,000 of them came within the first 3 weeks.
I'm predicting Trevon Hughes, undersized for his position but plays exceptional D with a Lowry like offense. Hustles on every play as well, I really hope he shows to be something special as our possible 3rd string PG.
