For a majority of these free agent college guys "signing" with NBA teams right now it is simply about their agents finding a situation where they can get playing time in the summer league. In most cases it has nothing to do with actually making that team for the real NBA season. To me it would be much more transparent to say that these players are going to play for (insert team) in the summer league. The summer league lets teams see if they want guys for training camp or their G-league teams, and there are plenty of European scouts watching too.
Somebody let me know when Scoochie or Cooke get invited to a training camp and make a couple cuts. Until then everybody can hold off on buying Celtics and T-wolves gear.
