Well this is a big summer league for the pistons. Darko will finally get to play in the summer league and I assume all 3 of our draft choices will be there. I would guess Delfino also.

I would assume Dupree would get an invite to go also.

Paulding and the big Greek man will also be there. I am not happy to see them both since we lose their rights now if we don't keep them.

[kamego]

Delfino, Darko Milicic, Rickey Paulding, Andreas Glyniadakis and the latest draft picks are expected to play in the Las Vegas summer league, which starts next week.

The two games televised on NBA TV will be shown via tape delay, on July 15 (Clippers) and July 20 (Hornets).

[kamego]

It's to bad ESPN 2 couldn't get these on TV during the day.

[DetBNyce]

Can't wait to see what Darko will do with a lot of minutes and how Delfino's injury has come along.

Gotta see what Maxiell will also be bringing.

[Starbury03]

Darko aganist Wilcox or Kaman that will be an interesting match-up.

[kamego]

Darko is well built to beat around with Kaman.

Rodney Billups is Mr Big Shots younger brother.

[LanierFan]

Time for the Pistons to update Darko's program stats. There's no way that he is still 7'0 or 245.

[Brian]

Darko is going to have to a good summer league if he expects to get any minutes next year. I don't see how Darko will be in front of Maxiell on the depth chart. From what I understand not only can Maxiell dunk but he also tries hard.

Hear, hear. I am super psyched to get an idea how far he(Darko) has come since one REALLY had a chance to see him play.
-How comfortable will he be when shooting the ball?
-How is his post-up game coming along?
-What types of set will be run for him, etc, etc.

[kamego]

Darko will be comfortable shooting don't you worry about that lol He never has had a problem with that. It just doesn't go in enough lol. Just kidding I am sure he will play well here because he will be phyiscally better then most of the talent in this league. His offense game will be fine, I want to see how he does guarding guys like Kaman.

[sheefo13]

Ricky Paulding is going to surprise a lot of you guys. I think he ends up playing the best in the summer league this summer.
