Would be lovely for Jaylen to make a strong first impression as im sure people around the league has his #3 status questionable. Does Simmons play the 3 in summer league? Im Excited to see this young stacked summer lineup

No. Summer league means absolutely nothing.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

I'm looking forward to it.  We have a lot of roster guys playing.  The game is on NBA TV at 7pm.  I'll have my DVR set.

Of course it means nothing. Clearly, those who have never seen him play before in the NBA already know he's a bust. What good would summer league do?
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Well, if you DVR it and you have nothing better to do on a week day night, it's a fun opportunity to see some of the recent draft picks playing.

Beyond excited! Summer League is tons of fun, and this should be an excellent matchup.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

 I really like Summer league too.  I've watched it since Marcus Banks.  There are good memories of seeing some of these guys in summer league.  It's really worth it.

Marcus Banks was the perfect example of a guy who looked unstoppable in summer league though and wasn't all that.
 
Fab Melo all those guys.  It's still fun.

I hope Mickey swats his first shot back at him and it hits him in the face.

Then why do they bother?  Why does Danny Ainge bother to go watch?

At very least its a chance for your young guys to play together against peers.
