30 days until the start of the Vegas Summer League.
This year it should be really exciting with 21 teams scheduled to appear for the 10-day run. If they plan each team to get 5 games then they will have to do what they started last year as an experiment, play simultaneously in both the main Thomas & Mack arena and in the Cox Pavilion practice facility connected to it. It used to be all games were in the practice facility, a nice cozy, get down and close venue. But with 10 games a day, 5 in each facility (my guess only at this point), it will be a basketball junkies dream.
Now to the Kings who will participate. Usually we find out the official rosters for summer league about a week or 10 days prior to the opening date but usually start hearing about invitees in June.
For example, we already know that Noel Felix, the 6-9, 225, 27-yr old CBA Defensive Player of the Year 04-05 has been invited. One of those "under the radar guys", Noel played briefly for the Sonics in Mar-Apr 2006 after a 2-yr stint in the CBA, then in '06 he signed a 2-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv, a perennial powerhouse in the EuroLeague. He then played briefly in the D-League in 2007 for the Anaheim Arsenal before signing with Hapoel Jerusalem his current team.
A Fresno State alum in 2003, a line from his Bulldog Bio reads, "Immensely talented players who is poised for a big senior season � very athletic and runs the court well � a tremendous leaper who has shown the ability to scrape the ceilings of arenas for rebounds � very aggressive on defense". Lets hope......
Two others expected to play on the summer league team are Spencer and Shelden along with the Kings draftees at #12, #42 and #43. Will update this as more invitees are known
