Goode, Dainja and Coleman… but one notable exception.

Also,…this is perhaps the worst Ai generated version of the Vegas Strip I’ve ever seen.

No MJ, Tre White, Skyy Clark nor RJ Melendez - it seems the social team didn’t include anyone with some negative vibes when they left

I can see some rationale for not including players that maybe aren’t connected to the program anymore, but it’s also good pub to have 12 former Brad players in the summer league- that’s the most of any big ten coach. And Im sure Brad would wish them all success in the league

as was noted, Goode, Dainja, and Coleman have degrees from us. It seems like a degree or last stop is a pretty good line to draw for inclusion.

The pub for guys who transfer is a bit of a double edged sword. No one was talking Tre White to the league after his season here.

Ayo's resigning press conference:

Some arm chair coach is calling Ayo the 4 worst, overpaid contract of the signing period.

I think he sits on the bleachers and is chronically underpaid for his wisdom.

I don’t get why Will Riley is playing summer league. He pretty clearly showed he is a more than capable nba player during the second half of last season. How many 20-30 point games did he have? Just seems like a risk for injury

The Wizards have Tre Johnson playing too. I think they may be trying to put a little more quality around Dybantsa to help him get more out of the experience. Maybe build a little early chemistry too.

I remember watching the summer league Thunder a few years ago and they clearly were already building chemistry with Chet, Jalen, Jaylin, etc.

He's competing with Tre Johnson for the 2nd guard spot next to Young and others to be the first guard/wing off the bench.

The Wizards have a bunch of young guards/wings that need to be sorted out.

He's playing a different role in summer league. Why not get him more reps?

As someone who likes to do a mental tally of True Shooting % from the box score, the summer league free throw rule is really throwing me off
