I would think that Herb, Jose, and Trey will NOT play in Summer League.

All three played meaningful minutes in the playoffs. I don't really see the upside of playing any of them. I'd rather not risk them being injured by raw and inexperienced players. But I would play Kira. I think he could use the run to build up some confidence in the knee.

[DroopyDawg]

They shouldn't, but Naji played last year after playing his rookie year and he seemed to have taken a big step in his development. He payed with much more confidence. Not saying it was totally due to summer league but I wouldn't rule out them playing.

Me personally I don't want to see any of them in SL but it wouldn't surprise me.

Good point. Herb was a starter. No way he plays. Maybe Trey and Jose play, but if were up to me, I'd sit them. But it would be cool to see them dominate.

I mean, you REALLY wanna dominate, let’s ask BI to play!

Zion has been cleared. Keep the bubble wrap on him till October or see where he is at now with his game and rehab?

Not sure I understand your second sentence, but there's no way in heck Zion plays Summerleague. 100% no chance.

[MichaelMcNamara]

CJ gonna play? Could be a good way to connect with the young guys as President of the Players Association

He's recovering from a finger but CJ should be healthy.

Garrett Temple needs some work too. Let him play or be coach.

[b_l_p]

I'd love to transition GT to a coach.

[P_B_&_G]

Yall are being ridiculous. Obviously all of the starters should play to build chemistry with Zion.

It’s happening! He is playing! Just not in Summer League . Griff. Got him playing in the playground leagues.

Former @AlabamaMBB guard John Petty Jr. will play with the New Orleans Pelicans during summer league, @HoopsRumors has learned. The 23-year-old signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the franchise last fall.

This man is hoopin, outside in NOLA, in late June.

He probably lost 10 lbs that night alone.

[luckyman]

I think Trey and Jose might play a couple games then sit out. But from the main rotation that'd be about it.

Thats a healthy place to be.

[ragincaucasian]

This is the list so far as of today. Note: Recent draftees are not included unless it has been announced or reported that they will play.

Last Update: June 27, 7 p.m. EDT

New Orleans Pelicans
The following players will reportedly play for the Pelicans:

Izaiah Brockington, Iowa State
Karlo Matkovic, KK Mega Basket
John Petty Jr., Birmingham Squadron (NBA G League)
Dereon Seabron, N.C. State

(Now add in Dyson and EJ most likely as well)

I really doubt Trey or Jose play any of Summerleague.

There will be a decent number of guys on the roster. Many will never make it to camp. Matkovic will go back to Europe and Petty are likely examples. I think Brockington and Seabron make it to camp given their contracts.

[Lee2000]

Brockington and Seabron compliment each other. Brock can shoot and Dereon can run and create shots around the basket.
