A very typical opening first half of NBA Summer League

Lot of new faces trying to get their feet wet after first action in months.

Some good flashes from Carter Bryant, Kel’el Ware and Keshad Johnson.

Pelle Larsson the leading scorer at the half with 11 PTS

Have him mentioned on the site preview coming this week!

REMINDER

Summer League roster tracking is a nightmare. These rosters change so much.

Players get announced "out" like minutes before tip.

So yes, there's a very good chance someone above is probably going to be a surprise "hey, he's actually not playing"

Have heard he worked out there with Queen. Obviously hear a lot of stuff and will double check everything (next two weeks are more common for buzz to start falling into place)
