NBA Summer league action is about to kick off next week, and it will once again be a big gathering of NBA scouts analysing Rookies and potential roster fillers, and coaches from smaller European clubs trying to find a bargain on the huge US market. The first rosters were revealed in the last couple of days, and once again we’re seeing quite a number of players with European experience among the many that went drafted or undrafted in 2009, or those who spent a year in the D-League and now try to make an NBA roster. Europe’s best is never going to show up for the summer leagues, but, already excluding drafted players such as Omri Casspi and Jonas Jerebko, there is a handful of players that had quite an impact in the 08/09 season in Europe, in names: Ibrahim Jaaber, Clay Tucker, Alan Anderson, James Gist, Taurean Green, and Earl Calloway. Here’s a short look at the rosters, with extra attention paid to those players that have European basketball experience.
