From my experience, any signed around now or later are usually scrubs

From my experience, nearly everyone who wasn't drafted in the first round who is on a summer league roster is a scrub*.

 

 

*  (relative to the NBA level - they could whoop my *** without trying).

I should have been more specific, summer league level scrubs.

Did they purposely not sign any frontcourt dudes?  Or is that a reflection of having JJ and OO who would normally be in SL but, due to necessity, are with the big team?

Just wondering.

     I found an article where Grant Golden is addressing this issue.  He stated that only he and another prospect from overseas would be the Big men on the team and is one of the reasons why he chose to play on Atlanta's Summer League team.

I hope we're looking at John Butler. He's raw but kind of intriguing. A couple of years in the G-league and he might get to point where he can contribute at the NBA level

Per the article regarding Golden:

Quote

Golden said they have been told the Hawks will have another player with similar body makeup to compete in Las Vegas.

“I don’t know who he is, he’s from overseas, but the Hawks have yet another big guy on their roster for the Summer League,” said Golden. “Looks like it’s going to be just me and him. I just felt like [the Hawks] It was the best opportunity in terms of playing time and trying to show what I can do.”

Yeah I’m in this mindset as well.

Somehow someway, I believe Nick Van Exel is destined to be an NBA head coach... just having followed the guy even from his Cincinnati Bearcat days, he's just one of those guys with the temperament, imo.

Four PGs. Akinjo, Clemons, Cooper, and Etienne. Then again, Coop might not play in summer league. This staff seems to care less about it than others of the past. Bud really cared about it

Joel Ayayi is a name I didn't heard about originally 

[MarylandHawk]

My man Alpha Kaba!  He was a draft and stash player years ago. It would be cool if he was good enough to make the team. 

[NBASupes]

Kaba won MVP of the Turkish league. That's one of the best leagues in Europe

[NBASupes]

Kaba might be better than Landale.
