Surely he can't be right about us potentially holding Bender out.
Kid needs all the playing time he can get
Anyone know much about Darion Atkins

The only two I know that aren't playing in summer league are Peters and Ulis. Bender is listed on the roster, although the roster is only 6 guys right now and without a pg.

We have a lot of young guys who need the PT and touches so I'm fine not going crazy with UDFAs but I would've liked to see some bigs on the roster.

With Ulis out, I'd let Jackson, Bender, and Reed run a lot of the offense in summer league. It'll be good for their development.

Bender may still be recovering, but I also read that he would be playing for his national team during the Summer. I remember thinking it was not the best idea when I read it. That was a couple of months before the season ended so I'm not sure if he still is or if his national team is even doing anything this Summer.

I'm not opposed to that. Winning isn't the most important thing, but it would be nice.

Geeez , I hope this is not the case. He needs to play Summer League and have a good one to be honest

Looks like Bender will be there along with Chriss, DJJ, JJ and Reed. That's going to be fun.

I hope Bender will get a lot of playing time, I think he just needs to be more confident and his shot will start falling. The rest will come.

You're not helping.
Or you are depending on one's perspective.

Good pickup (for Summer League). He was on our 2015 squad and fills our PG hole. He's also fiery like the rest of our crew.

Didn't he play a Summer League with us or was it last year he was on one of the teams in Vegas ?
