NBA Summer League begins 

The NBA Summer League begins this week in Salt Lake City and Orlando. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson finds himself on a Brooklyn Nets team with Wisconsin’s Josh Gasser, and Aaron Gordon will be part of the Magic’s summer league teams that include ex-Sun Devils Jahii Carson and Jordan Bachynski. The Indiana Pacers have asked 2014-14 starter Solomon Hill to play a partial Summer League schedule; he will be paired with Xavier’s Matt Stainbrook. Remember him? He was the part-time Uber driver from Xavier who played so well against Arizona in the Sweet 16.
