The Summer League is in full swing and there are a bunch of former Big Ten players in action. Though this is not an NBA site, many of these former Big Ten players are fighting for a roster position in the Summer League. Success in the pros is highly related to a program's success, which makes the Summer League highly relevant for many of the programs in the Big Ten. Here are some of the highlights from Day 3.
We detailed the full Summer League rosters last week and now we are going to be following those players during their games this summer. Here are the highlights so far:
With that, let's take a look at how the Big Ten performed on Day Four of the Summer League.

Day Six Thoughts
First, here is my intro I am putting in each of these posts:
"Please insert a "grain of salt" warning with everyone of my statements regarding the Summer League. The competition is much different than your typical NBA regular or postseason game. Frankly, you just aren't going to run into your LeBron or Durant type of players in the Summer League. This means that there are some weaknesses in players that just don't get exposed in these type of scenarios. Having said that, there were a few things worth noting in the first two days of Summer League action."
Arguably, this was probably one of the quieter days for the Big Ten so far in the Summer League. With only 4 players participating and Victor Oladipo sitting out, the conference only had 3 guys competiting. Kalin Lucas and Roy Devyn Marble cooled off a bit in today's action, but both still had some productive plays. Both have had pretty good Summer League performances so far. Chris Kramer was a bit quieter in terms of stat performances, but he still got 14 minutes, which is a pretty good sign. We will see if things speed up on Friday.
