Get To Know Your Summer League Roster

by Jeff Clark on Jul 2, 2009 7:39 AM EDT in Boston Celtics Articles

Nick Fazekas was added to the roster and the full team was announced yesterday. Here it is (via Green Street with my comments on each):

(F) Nick Fazekas, Nevada - Had some promise in college but is best known for being cut for a retired Kieth Van Horn. Recently played in Belgium
(G) Coby Karl, Boise State - Coach Karl's son used to play for the Lakers.
(G) Chris Lofton, Tennessee - Recently played in Turkish league.
(G) Bryan Mullins, Southern Illinois - "startled the coaching staff when he broke the Celtics record for the three-minute run - a staple for everyone during training camp." - Herald
(F) Kevin Rogers, Baylor
(G) Bryce Taylor, Oregon
(F) Mike Sweetney, Georgetown - Ate his way out of the league but is making a comeback attempt.
(C) Robert Swift, Bakersfield HS (CA) - Might have more tats than games played, but has some upside.
(G) Darius Washington, Memphis - One of the few Memphis players not involved in test scores scandals (I'm exaggerating of course)

Here's the schedule:

July 6, 7pm vs. Jazz
July 7, 1pm vs. Magic
July 8, 5pm vs. Thunder
July 9, 7pm vs. Pacers
July 10, 1pm vs. Nets/76ers

do you know if these summer league games will be on tv or streamed online?

The games are being played during the afternoon, so if you have a job forget watching them. Looks like a really good roster. Who from the Celtics are joining the team?

from memory

they are streamed on the Leagues websites.
ie. Las Vegas has a live Streaming Link on there own website, or NBA.com for free
no commentators, just the courtside announcer.

Side note: Justin Reed on Utah’s team anyone remember him?
+ Indy has a Tall team

looking forward to it to take my mind of the Free agency situation

I kind of like the big men Danny's brought in

considering none are from the C’s roster or new draftees. They should get plenty of playing time and there’s actually some NBA-level talent there.

I really like Nick Fazekas. I’d like to see him do well in the summer league. I wonder how much run the non bigs will get. You gotta think Gabe, JR, and Walker will be playing a lot of minutes.
