Kings Summer League Roster Announced

The Kings released the full roster for its summer league team. It is rather stacked, in my humble opinion. The best news? Pete Carril will run the squad.
Check out the full roster after the jump.
| No. | Player | Position | Ht. | Wt. | Born | From |
| 42 | Robert Battle | F | 6-8 | 230 | 5/5/1981 | Drexel |
| 40 | Jon Brockman | F | 6-7 | 255 | 3/20/1987 | Washington |
| 43 | John Bryant | C | 6-11 | 275 | 6/13/1987 | Santa Clara |
| 20 | Pat Calathes | G-F | 6-10 | 210 | 12/12/1985 | St. Joseph's |
| 18 | Omri Casspi | F | 6-9 | 225 | 6/22/1988 | Israel |
| 13 | Tyreke Evans | G | 6-6 | 220 | 9/19/1989 | Memphis |
| 20 | Donté Greene | F | 6-11 | 226 | 2/21/1988 | Syracuse |
| 16 | Marcus Landry | F | 6-7 | 230 | 11/1/1985 | Wisconsin |
| 25 | Wes Matthews | G-F | 6-5 | 220 | 12/14/1986 | Marquette |
| 22 | Jerel McNeal | G | 6-3 | 200 | 6/1/1987 | Marquette |
| 15 | Brian Roberts | G | 6-2 | 175 | 12/3/1985 | Dayton |
| 8 | Victor Stowes | G | 6-2 | 215 | 9/29/1984 | Reinhardt |
| 34 | Jason Thompson | F | 6-11 | 250 | 7/21/1986 | Rider |
| 7 | Ryan Toolson | G | 6-4 | 190 | 3/21/1985 | Utah Valley |
Players in red have guaranteed roster spots.
Here's the schedule:
- Friday, July 10 vs. Detroit 3 p.m.
- Saturday, July 11 vs. Golden State 5 p.m.
- Monday, July 13 vs. Milwaukee 7:30 p.m.
- Wednesday, July 15 vs. D-League Select 5:30 p.m.
- Friday, July 17 vs. New York 3 p.m.
All games will be webcast on NBA.com.
This is quite a haul for the Kings, considering that 1) few expected Hawes to come back for a third year, 2) McNeal and Bryant were considered two of the top undrafted rookies, 3) Landry ain't far behind, and 4) Calathes actually got good minutes for a decent Greek team this season.
I love McNeal, and I will say Bryant could be an interesting 13th man if the Kings really don't do anything in free agency. He's definitely a center.
(The summer team has three likely starters. So amazing.)

Good to see Bryant and McNeal
I would have liked to have seen Heytvelt, but otherwise looks good. Should be exciting.

posted a rumor at Ridiculous Upside that Heytvelt would be on the Thunder’s summer league roster.

I think
its more likely they play at the three and the four, respectively. JT’ll see some time at C, perhaps. We’re kinda set up rosterwise (on the big-league team) to play small.
But your point is well taken that we have 5 first rounders that we want to see play, and then some dirtbags. But I guess at least 7 of these guys will be on the roster…

I’ve always wanted to go and am seriously considering it this year. How hard is it to get tickets? I heard it was pretty crowded last year at the games.

Not sure
But I’m gonna be in Vegas the 14th and 15th so now that the roster is set I’m planing on going Wednesday. Wonder if I should snatch up tickets in the next couple of days. Maybe I’ll go for the courtside seats and rock a #4 Rubio jersey in case Tyreke needs any extra motivation.

Bit the bullet and picked up some tix for Wed. Wish it wasn’t against the D-League but oh well. Hopefully Spence is still playing then.

I went two years ago and it was a blast... back then it was a lot lower key and
you could pretty much sit next to GM’s and other players who were watching there squads play. Its also nice because it was general seating so you could sit behind your bench and listen to what the coach and players are saying for super cheap. Plus you’re talking about watching four games a day for $15 from row 3… yes please. In general most of the players are really amiable as well, I would grade it my favorite basketball experience I ever had. I have heard they have been getting bigger crowds recently, but I would still highly recommend it; its the closest thing to the NBA uncensored you’ll ever get with most players playing for their basketball lives.
My warning is the quality of the games is not at a NBA level. Although there is added intensity on a lot of the undrafted guys to perform and its fun to watch people make or break there chances.
There now I've met the 75 word count. -pookeyguru

Sweet!
Sounds awesome. I know the courtside seats are more but hopefully we can GA it sit behind the bench. Looking forward to getting a feel for the new guys and the chemistry between the players. Hopefully Cisco and a couple other players will be there watching. Wonder if I can get a Casspi jersey in time?

Carril directly coaching JT, Hawes, Donté, Casspi, Evans, and Brockman? Hell to the yeah. It can only help the development of these young players.

Outstanding
I LOVE the additions of Wesley Matthews and Pat Calathes (I KNEW there was a reason I kept calling Nick Calathes "Pat"!) to the summer league roster. I GUARANTEE one of Matthews, McNeal, Calathes makes the roster, hopefully more than one. McNeal is a solid combo guard that can score. Matthews is a great defending swingman with some shooting range. Calathes is a rangy SF with some ballhandling skills and a great shot. Awesome pickups.
I’m not at all surprised to see John Bryant from Santa Clara on that roster. :)

OK -
I’m not sure what getting stabbed by a gang member has to do with this, but whatever.
My point is that this is summer league, and you went off on the guy. 99% of non-roster invitees will not make an NBA squad this year. Many of these guys won’t make an NBDL squad this year.

Wow
That is big news. I know that Rubio would go back into the draft if he sat out of pro basketball completely for a year, but what will his status be if he does play the next two years in Spain? Minnesota still owns the rights?

Hehehe.
I guess La Pistola-marks wont have to worry about Rubio doing better than ’Reke this season. So glad we picked Evans.

Probably not completely fair
If we had selected Rubio, I think he’d be reporting.
Having said that, I’m glad we picked Evans too.

John Bryant
I had never heard of him so I read this on Slam-online. Sounds like the type of toughness we are looking to establish this year. I am pulling for this kid now.
“PLAYER ALERT: Big Country of the Redwoods
This week’s mention goes to a big old guy out west amongst our nation’s tallest of trees, Santa Clara’s John Bryant. The 6-10, 275-pound senior center has been terrorizing West Coast Conference teams since he stepped foot on the Northern California campus a few years back with his brand of toughness and defense. This year, Bryant has trimmed down a large amount of weight after years of carrying 300-plus. One of the nation’s true great postmen, Bryant is super-crafty around the hoop and finds ways to impose his size and will on the way to easy baskets and block shots on the other end. The returning All-WCC center is adept on knocking down the elbow-jumper, but he is defter with his back to the basket. While he prepares to finish his career as a 1500-point/1000-rebound-guy, Bryant is currently busy putting up ridiculous numbers. The nation’s second-leading rebounder behind Blake Griffin, Bryant has averaged 18 and 18 over his last seven games.
Did I mention that this season almost didn’t happen for the Cali-native? Just days before the start of practice, Bryant was stabbed three times in the back near campus. His future on the court was initially in question, but his quick return to the Broncos and his continually improving play must be impressive to the NBA scouts that have tried to ignore him for years."
