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.

Why would an MLB team draft a shortstop when they've already got one of the best? Many reasons, but, take the best players you can get and use them as trade bait later.
