by Derrick Clyburn and Derrick Isaiah Clyburn

The playoffs have started and the grind of the NBA Summer League is coming to a close.  It is great to see our Tar Heels pursue their dreams. Whether It’s the NBA,  The G- League, or Overseas. They have invested many years to get to this point. Nine Tar Heels players continue their quest to make their mark on this summer, and position themselves to be a starter, be a rotation player, or make the final roster. The games will be shown on ESPN, ESPN2, and  NBA TV.

Marcus Paige is with the Minnesota. Kennedy Meeks is with Toronto. Tony Bradley and J.P. Tokoto are with Utah. Justin Jackson is with Sacramento. Brice Johnson, Isaiah Hicks, and Kendall Marshall are with the LA Clippers. Nate Britt is with Atlanta.

Summer League Observation

Justin Jackson and Brice Johnson have been the most consistent players. Everyone else has been a mixed bag, due to the rotation of what the teams have decided for the basketball players. Most teams have 20 players that they have to evaluate.
