Salt City Hoops:

Until the next chapter in the Jason Richards story is written, he’ll be known as the guy who was very good at getting the ball to Stephen Curry. No shame in that, and he did a great job of it. I’ll be looking for more of the same at the next level.

We know better. Now maybe others might too.

Talking D-League: “The more than 100 players on Summer League rosters are a true testament to the successes the NBA D-League has seen over the last eight years. It is extremely encouraging to look at these rosters and see players who took advantage of the NBA D-League to further their professional basketball careers.”

The NBA’s director of basketball operations: “This is not just a showcase; this is a route to get into the league. We’ll have all our D-League teams represented and many of our NBA teams. No one wants to take a chance that there will not be some very good players there. This is important to the NBA.”
