This roster is missing a couple of names due to the NBA rule that doesn’t allow trades to be official until July 10.

7’0 rookie center Jeff Withey from Kansas and 5’11 rookie point guard Pierre Jackson from Baylor will also participate.

Official Schedule:

Games will be televised on NBA TV and you can also watch by downloading the NBA Summer League App.

Player to Watch: Austin Rivers

The Pelicans expected the Duke product to produce good minutes at PG last season, but he failed miserably. It will be interesting to see how he has developed over the past year.
