NBA Summer League gets underway Saturday, with the first of three leagues tipping off in Orlando, and two former Wildcats will be representing Northwestern. Both Drew Crawford (Orlando Blue) and John Shurna (Cleveland) have opportunities with NBA teams for the second year in a row. Crawford will be playing in the Orlando League, which runs July 4-10, while Shurna will play for the defending Eastern Conference champion Cavs in the Las Vegas league, which runs July 10-20.
Crawford will be playing alongside this year's No. 5 pick, Mario Hezonja, last year's No. 4 pick, Aaron Gordon, this year's Division I scoring champion, Tyler Harvey (Eastern Washngton), and former Big Ten nemeses Devyn Marble (Iowa), Jordan Morgan (Michigan) and Nnanna Egwu (Illinois).
Here is the Magic's full roster:
Shurna's teammates include former college players Rakeem Christmas (Syracuse), who was drafted by the Cavs, and undrafted players Quinn Cook (Duke), Keifer Sykes (Wisconsin-Green Bay), Tyler Haws (BYU), Trevor Lacey (NC State) and current Cavalier Joe Harris. The full roster is yet to be announced.
