With several players leaving primeval to sign teams in the Las Vegas Summer League, they had just seven men available.

He also got an suggestion of what he has to do to clutch heedfulness of his body, how to get his rest, how to nourishment right. But being with our coaches, he progressed every day, began to texture the games out, get more comfortable." Holiday averaged 8.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals.
As for second-year big gentleman's gentleman Marreese Speights, Stefanski said: "He had a concentrated ahead play in terms of scoring, getting his shots on pick-and-pop plays. We be familiar with he can do that. We lack him to prove and get amiable playing down low. That's what he needs to stir on.'' Speights averaged 14.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks.
Six shots Temple's Dionte Christmas, who was with the set as an undrafted complimentary agent, has joined the Los Angeles Clippers' record in Las Vegas. "He did a complicated livelihood for us," Ed Stefanski said. "He was appreciative to be in anybody's encamp after not getting drafted.
The one annulling we had heard about him was his defense, but he acquitted himself nicely, kept his fellow in appearance of him. I mark he helped himself with the scouts, and now he'll get some more exposure". Stefanski said both bodyguard Blake Ahearn and to the fore Rob Kurz are possibilities for invitations to the Sixers' training coterie. The Las Vegas rosters minister to to be fluid, but recent Sixer Kareem Rush was listed with the Denver Nuggets, one-time Saint Joseph's University stars Ahmad Nivins and Dwayne Jones with the Dallas Mavericks and the Detroit Pistons, respectively, and Villanova's Dante Cunningham with the Portland Trail Blazers. *.
