The NBA Summer League has been an exciting arena for Australians to show their skills to the basketballing world.  There are the NBA level players like Dante Exum and Jonah Bolden who are pleading their case for more responsibility.  Next are the college level guys like Mangok Mathiang who are trying to move on to a professional career and then the NBL level contestants like Mitch Creek and Nathan Sobey who will take back an enormous amount of knowledge from the best in the business.

And luckily for Australian basketball fans, ESPN will be broadcasting twenty games live of the Las Vegas Summer League from the 8th July to the championship game on the 18th.  Thon Maker, Travis Trice, Casey Prather, Corey Webster, Torrey Craig and more are all on display on ESPN, starting today at 8:30 am with a tripleheader, beginning with Maker’s Bucks against Prather’s Cavaliers.
