Though the NBA Draft is clearly the most significant offseason event in terms of team rosters, the Summer League is arguably the second biggest factor in determining which players make the cut and those that are forced to look around at other leagues for next season. With this in mind, let's take a look at some of the Big Ten players that will be playing in the NBA Summer League this season.
Just a few thoughts before we dive in the list. First, the Big Ten has performed quite well in the NBA Draft over the past few seasons and that will likely be reflected in the Summer League. Along with this, it's important to note that an appearance on this list in no way guarantees a player a position next season or even with the organization. Players in the Summer League move around all the time. The list also clarifies that if a team is participating in both the Orlando and Las Vegas Summer Leagues, which event the player will be participating in with that team. Finally, not all the Summer League rosters are confirmed at this point, so this list may not be 100% accurate right now.
With no further delay, here are the Big Ten players in the 2014 NBA Summer League. Please note that not all players listed below are officially added and some players have "(probable)" next to their name to indicate that in all likelihood they will be playing, but have not officially been added yet. This list will also be continually updated as further announcements are made and the summer league where each team is participating in is listed next to the team's name on the list below.
