The Orlando Summer League is History and now Vegas Summer League has stole the Show. Some familiar names on the College and High School Level resurfaced as Scoring Leaders in the Mouse Town Summer League.

The 2012 Orlando Summer League Top 10 Scoring Leaders with History I might add if there is some plus Notable Others if need be sponsored by Some of you will need your Passport as there are Top Euro Scouts at these Events...so Play Well...Cash is Cash:

1. L. Stephenson G Pacers 19.8 ppg: Former Brooklyn Lincoln HS Star the Next in line behind the Over Hyped Bassie Telfair of the Suns. Neither One has lived up to their Billings but it is HS Ball in NYC...what else. The Young man has Size and Game he just needs to act like sometimes after a Splash Play he has been there before.

2. Alec Burks G Jazz 17.2 ppg: Silky-Smooth Combo Here who is a Sneaky Athlete. The 3rd Best Player ever out of Boulder, Colorado University next to Mr. Big Shot Chauncey Billups and Donnie Boyce.

3. M. Brooks G Nets 17 ppg: Just like he did at Providence under Coaches Keno Davis and Rodell Davis he Gets Buckets. I like the Nets Editions to their Back Court an now I am a Marshon will get Looks playing with the Joker and Fellow Rook TyShawn Taylor.

4. A. Daye SF Pistons 15.8 ppg: He is better than Pops (Darren Daye a Former UCLA Standout) and to Joe D's Credit he has been waiting patiently for this Young Man's Game both Mental and Physical to come around. He can Score and has some former UConn Al-American Donyell Marshall in him.

5. L. Hayward Thunder 15.8 ppg: You know what helps a Marquette Player in Summer League when it is a Wide-Open Game Marquette's Coach Buzz Peterson's System. All Marquette Players have the Freedom to Play Multiple Positions and in the Logo and you become an Asset like a Baseball Utility Player. Hayward can play and goes under the Umbrella as a Stretch G/F.  

6. T. Taylor Nets 15.5 ppg: There will be some Teams in 2-3 Years saying why did we pass on this guy. T2 has some game and anytime your Offense is your Defense 1st you will find a Home in the Logo. he is Regular Mario of Team Heat but more of an Athlete. Now he will be under the Joker of the Barclays Watch D-Will 8 so he will be much better in 2013.

7. Reggie Jackson Thunder 15.3 ppg: Coming out of Chestnut Hill, Mass I likened him to Former Golden Eagle Alum and Detroit Southwestern HS Alum and Stock of Salt Lake's Back Up Guard...Howard Eisley except way more explosive. The Thunder have Insurance here in case Eric Maynor decides to test Free Agency and get a higher Offer Sheet than OKC is willing to Pay down the Road. Call the Bluedude..Virtual Blue GM....I would like that.

8. B Knight Pistons 14.5 ppg: I don't know what it is about the Former #1 HS BB Player in the Land from Pincrest Prep near 305. He is learning the PG Spot on the Run but one thing he can already do is Shoot the Orange. The One Question moving forward in the D is can Knight Rider Motor City Edition co-exist with Stuck of the Puget Sound....Pistons Combo G Rodney Stuckey? Thy did get BG7 ran out of town...Sniper Ben Gordon that is.

9. E. Moore C's 14 ppg: Simply a Player who knows how to Play the game and you will never catch Moore playing outside of his Own Abilities. He is as a little bit unorthodox but you get results.

10. J. Sullinger C's 13.8 ppg: Sully will learn a lot from Big Ticket when he gets to Camp KG in Bean Town in the Fall. He needs to obviously work on that Mid-Range Game as he is not the most athletic guy on the hardwood. But he can Play and knows how to Use that Frame of his. C's got them a Steal on where they got him.

Other Notables....

Nets SF Al Thornton 13.8 ppg: A former 1st Round Pick trying to find his way back and it will be tough to make the NETS Roster but Al has some game left.

Sixers Jacob Pullen 13.7 ppg: The Former K-State Wildcat went undrafted in the 2011 NBA Draft but will be a point who can shoot it. The Sixers let Lou Williams walk and Pullen's Salary Slot would fit nice under their Present Cap.

Miles Plumlee Pacers 13 ppg: Played Well and he is Rebound, Toughness, and 110% every Rip Ready to give the Pacers much needed Athletic Depth in their Front Court. I didn't like the Pick then but seeing it Now the Bluedude will miss a few times.

Kyle Singler Pistons 10 ppg: Former Duke and South Medford HS Oregon All- Stater played like always plays....David Copperfield-esque.

Andre Drummond Pistons 7 ppg: He needs work but Big Fella is super Young and you would think will get Better you Hope and sat away from Andray Blatche-itis.

360 Degrees: Jrue Holiday of the Sixers and Tyler Hansborough of the Pacers Brothers were playing in Orlando. Justin Holiday of the Sixers averaged 11.8 ppg and Ben Hansborough of the Pacers averaged 6 ppg.
