    California Classic is a week before Vegas but that schedule isn't out yet.

    Roster isn't finalized, but below let's get to know who we know will be there.

    Peter Suder, aka Austin Jr






    One of our two way signings.

    Offensively, eerie how similar his body movement resembles Austin

    He got our other two way contract. Based on the exhibit 10 guys we added, i think he's going to have some competition for that spot.

    Interesting body type and some stiff, upright movement offensively. You'll see these guys every couple years in summer league, they usually don't make it past the G League though.

    Odd release for a shooter




    Robert McCray






    Glad to have a point guard and table setter on the summer league team. Years we've forgotten that player type has resulted in some really ugly play... like when we asked DK to play point.

    And then there's this guy...

    Robbie Avila




    What in the 90s Disney movie is this?

    If you squint, you can see a ceiling of a 39 year old Sam Perkins with the Pacers

    Because of the defense, I will be rooting for this kid to stick.

    All joking aside, he can pass and shoot, but this HAS to be a Rambii pick, right?
    There’s a Joker body type that just looks out of the ordinary in the NBA, but this is on another level.

    I haven't seen enough of these guys to make any predictions but it should be an interesting, fun summer.

    Yeah a true point guard really helps in summer league.

    Any word of Bronny or Adou joining?

    I'm hyped for Cream Abdul Jabbar

    I doubt Bronny or DK play.

    But Adou probably will, according to him during his exit interview
