The NBA Summer League is an opportunity for high-profile rookies to get their first taste of NBA action while others look to carve out a path to continue playing basketball at the highest level.
While some of March Madness' biggest stars parlay their collegiate careers into being high draft picks, others have to take different routes as undrafted rookies on Exhibit 10 or two-way contracts. For those players, Summer League is the perfect opportunity to show what they're capable of.
