He didn't make the cut for the Sixers summer league squad.

Having endured five days of conditioning-oriented workouts, the Sixers' rookies and free agents headed west Thursday.

This afternoon at 4 p.m. against the Spurs in Las Vegas, they'll play the first of 11 summer league games in the span of 15 days.

For team president Billy King, coach Maurice Cheeks, vice president of basketball operations Tony DiLeo and company, it's a chance to see how their young players stack up against other teams' rookies and free agents.

“Obviously, we want to see how our draft picks compete against other NBA players,” said Cheeks after Thursday's final workout. “For the most part, it's for people trying to make the team.”

For the Sixers' young guys, it's a chance to see how far they've come and how far they have to go.

In scrimmages the media was permitted to watch this week, second-year swingman Rodney Carney, second-year power forward Louis Amundson and third-year point guard Louis Williams were the most effective Sixers.

That's no surprise, since those three have been through these camps and have experience in NBA games. Carney might have been the best of the lot.

“I told Rodney right away, just from me watching film on him, that he could be a player like Shawn Marion,” said former Sixer Aaron McKie, who helped coach this week while he decides if he wants to continue playing. Roster moves

The Sixers trimmed the roster they'll take to Las Vegas to 13 by waiving Philadelphia University power forward Christian Burns. That means Temple shooting guard Dustin Salisbery made the squad.

Free agent Gerry McNamara (sprained right ankle) missed Thursday's workout and is expected to sit out a minimum of the first two games in Vegas.

It's not working for me. No streaming from WMP it just sits on "Ready". Anyone else getting it?

[Coatesvillain]

I was thinking I was the only one it wasn't working for. This really sucks.

[DamDweller]

It is working now. It wasn't working for me but then I closed the window and clicked watch again and it worked. Sixers are up 17 to 5 last time it showed the score.

[DamDweller]

I wish they would give the numbers on the box score so I knew who was who.

Lou Williams is still a work in progress at the point. He keeps taking the ball to the elbow and picking it up and looking for someone to bail him out. Makes it too easy for the other team to trap him.
