NBA Summer Camp Beginning in Orlando

The NBA is going to start their first summer camp beginning today in Orlando. The summer leagues have been a showcase for UK players in year’s past as guys like Erik Daniels, Chuck Hayes, Kelenna Azubuike, Gerald Fitch, Randolph Morris and even Rajon Rondo have played well in their first games as professionals.

There won’t be much excitement for former Cats this year as Joe Crawford appears to be the only former UK player taking part in any of the leagues (he and the Lakers begin play Friday). The Celtics, who are one of the teams not participating in any of the leagues, have Randolph Morris in their camp as he takes on the daunting task of trying to fill the role vacated when Scot Pollard’s contract expired. I can't wait to see what happens.
