NBA News NBA News, Match Reports and Updates
Ah, yes, NBA Summer League, the time of the year when all the NBA sickos that don’t watch a single second of college basketball suddenly discover college players that we’ve been paying attention to for months if not years.
That’s the side value of Summer League. For our Marquette-centric purposes here, we’re keeping an eye on former Golden Eagles who are right on the fringe of an NBA roster, either on one side of the cut or another.

We will get at least one more game than listed below for every team. The Las Vegas format is “everyone plays four games, then decide a top four to create semifinals,” so there could even be two more games if any of the teams with Marquette players get that far. If they don’t finish top four, then there will be a consolation game for every team involved, so just one more than what is pre-scheduled. If the timing works out right, I’ll find a way to cram those extra games into this schedule eventually.
Because of how Summer League works — there’s more than just the Vegas event! — I have to publish this on Friday, July 3rd, even though Vegas doesn’t start until July 9th. That’s also why I have just one name on the list right now, because Vegas rosters aren’t 100% finalized for every team and for the moment, I’m only aware of one former Marquette player guaranteed to appear in Summer League. We’ll update as we can/need to……
Chase Ross — Los Angeles Lakers
Chase Ross just finished his senior year at Marquette, which goes into the history books as one of the more disappointing 14/4/3/2 seasons you’ll ever see from a college basketball player. To the surprise of no one, he was not selected in the NBA Draft, but Ross was pretty quickly claimed by the Los Angeles Lakers for an Exhibit 10 contract. That deal is enough to lock Ross into a spot with the Lakers here and at training camp, and give him an inside track on a two-way deal or a spot on LA’s G-League team when we get to the fall.

We don’t have just traditional Vegas Summer League to keep tabs on for Ross and the Lakers. They’ll be in the California Classic one week…
