A-10 Players Will Seek to Impress in NBA Summer League

    Just a quick few notes on some familiar names who played in the Philadelphia area and where they will be attempting to make an impact in order to gain a roster spot. While Khalif Wyatt, Ramon Galloway and C.J. Aiken did not hear there names called at the draft, it does not mean they won't get a chance.

    Khalif Wyatt: Sources are reporting that Wyatt will have two opportunities to make an NBA squad this summer after he signed to play for the Dallas Mavericks for their summer league team in Las Vegas and the Sixers to play for their summer team in Orlando. Wyatt who was a stud at Temple during his career, averaged 20 points a game last season and will look for his shooting ability to lead him to a roster spot. On a side note, the Sixers will probably be weak as they begin rebuilding next year, and I personally would love seeing him play in Philly.
    Ramon Galloway: Galloway is another stud shooter who made it through all four seasons in college. After being a sharpshooter with good range in college, Galloway will look to continue making it rain as he plays for Denver in the summer league. After leading the La Salle Explorers all the way to the Sweet 16 this season, Galloway has proven he has talent and steps up when it is time, don't be surprised to see him make a roster for some depth and shooting ability.
    C.J. Aiken: After a somewhat surprising exit from Saint Joseph's after his junior year, Aiken will look to start a pro career either in the NBA or overseas. Aiken had a bit of a disappointing year as did everyone last year on Hawk Hill, averaging only 10 points and 5 rebounds per game. Aiken will be playing for the Sacramento Kings in the summer league and will look to his shot-blocking ability in an effort to make a name for himself. Probably the biggest long-shot of the local A-10 players in terms of making a roster, Aiken will most likely find himself in the D League or overseas next year, but anything could happen.
    There you have it, a quick few words on the local guys who will try to make it to the big time. We wish them luck in all their future endeavors.
