The D-League announced their "Select" team that will be competing in this year's Vegas Summer League, comprised of players who weren't invited to play by any NBA teams (at least in Vegas). Looking at the roster below, it's hard to understand why some of these guys didn't get other offers. Wasn't Othyus Jeffers within a hair of a call-up last year? Doesn't Trey Johnson have some NBA experience? At any rate, hopefully these guys can show everyone else what they missed out on and work their way into training camp invites. We write about these guys a lot, so in lieu of full breakdowns here are some quick notes on each player. I also made sure to update our list of Summer League rosters, so remember to check that page if you're unsure of who's playing for whom.
| Coleman Collins | F | 6'9" | 225 | Efficient scorer, didn't get consistent playing time but should've. |
| Gary Forbes | F | 6'7" | 220 | Efficient scorer, good passer, inconsistent rebounder |
| Will Frisby | F | 6'8" | 235 | Solid post player, decent rebounder, occasionally fouls too much |
| Marcus Hubbard | C | 6'9" | 230 | Prefers playing on the perimeter, no idea why D-League insists he's a C |
| Othyus Jeffers | G/F | 6'5" | 200 | Great defender, athletic, good off the dribble. Full profile here |
| Jasper Johnson | F | 6'8" | 275 | Decent point/rebound averages, but has struggled with weight |
| Trey Johnson | G | 6'6" | 216 | Good three-point shooter, shaky defense. Full profile here |
| Kurt Looby | C | 6'10" | 230 | Terrific shot-blocker and rebounder, still raw offensively. Full profile here |
| Walker Russell | G | 6'0" | 170 | D-League single-season assist record holder. Full profile here |
| Curtis Stinson | G | 6'3" | 215 | Good all-around PG, decent rebounder for his position |
