I don't know about everyone else, but I am really looking forward to the Summer League games next week. I think we have the best SL roster we've ever had. I remember the last Orlando SL when Harangody looked like Dirk out there lol.

GUARDS: Dionte Christmas (Orlando only), Jonathan Gibson, E'Twaun Moore, Jamar Smith

FORWARDS: Craig Brackins, JaJuan Johnson, Stephane Lasme, Jared Sullinger

CENTERS: Fab Melo, Sean Williams

Moore/Smith/Sully/JJJ/Melo to me looks like the strongest starting lineup in this league. I'm not sure who will play point guard in this lineup.

First game up is Oklahoma City so we'll get a chance to see if passing on Perry Jones was a good idea.

Let's kill some time this weekend and make a few predictions!

Orlando Summer League MVP:

Why was he even there?:

Who makes the roster (choose 5):

Im not sure who a lot of these guys are but I'm very excited to watch Sullinger and JJJ battle it out for minutes...one of them will receive the majority of back up PF minutes and I think it's going to be an ongoing battle right through preseason. Two very different players with different games...should be fun to watch

Excited to see how Sean Williams does.   I'm a fan of his potential.

Sully too of course.

Lasme is always good for a few head-turning plays or two.  Wouldn't be suprised if he stole the show here and there.

Sullinger's first opportunity to flip the bird at some of these nba teams, i'd be suprised if he isn't in beast mode.

Oh I missed Lasme when first looking at that list, was a big fan of his game last year.

This could be very true. I'd expect Sullinger to come out making waves with his physical play next week. I would think that his style won't be as fluid as JJJ; but he'll be more effective out there.

Fab Melo has the potential to look completely lost next week. He'll have a few bright moments, but I think we'll all see that's a project player and will need time in Maine. Bad thing is that if we can't re-sign Steamer we'll need Fab on the bench - and there he won't get any valuable playing time. Might be better to sign Williams for those minutes and send Melo to the NBADL
