No idea what an updated list would look like, but that's a lot of guys who dominated summer league who never amounted to much, you know?  Heck, even last year, the summer league's third leading scorer (Jordan McRae), second leading rebounder (Jerelle Benimon), and second leading passer (Tre Kelley) didn't contribute at all in the NBA.

Again, though, the flip side of that is a lot of disappointing guys in summer league have turned into good pros:

It just doesn't mean a lot.
