What is there for him to gain from playing in Summer League? Most third year guys don’t play (aside from Frank Mason who is fighting for his roster spot) in summer league and I would rather use the time to see how Biggie Swanigan and Wenyen have progressed than to see Harry destroy random dudes auditioning for the D-league.
That would have been fun no doubt but I would ups rather see him healthy in the regular season than playing Summer League
Well it's his 2nd year playing. Bagley played well in his rookie year, much better than Giles while also being considered one of our franchise cornerstones, yet he's in the SL(although probbaly not a lot of PT). I think this does raise concerns. Either:
a) he's still not fully healthy from the thigh injury from March 21
b) he's going to be part of a trade
I think it's most likely A more than anything. However, for a thigh injury to still be affecting you 3 months later, that gives cause for some concerns. If the Kings are just trying to be careful, it also gives some concerns about his overall health. SL is pointless, but just the fact that they'd be worried about anything isn't all that reassuring.
