John Wall to make Wizards debut in Las Vegas on July 11
The NBA summer league schedule was announced on Tuesday and the Washington Wizards will play five games, beginning on July 11 against Golden State. That should provide a good challenge for expected No. 1 overall pick John Wall -- especially if the Warriors play point guard Stephen Curry, the runner-up rookie of the year whom Washington passed over with the fifth pick last summer to trade the choice for Mike Miller and Randy Foye.
The Wizards will be among 22 teams to participate in the tournament, which runs from July 9-18 at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
On July 12, the Wizards will face the Los Angeles Clippers and 2009 No. 1 overall pick Blake Griffin and take two days off before facing Dallas (and French second-year point guard Rodrigue Beaubois) on July 15. They will also face New Orleans and New York.
Here's the schedule, with Eastern standard times: Golden State (July 11, 8 p.m.), Los Angeles Clippers (July 12, 10 p.m.), Dallas (July 15, 8 p.m.), New Orleans (July 16, 8 p.m.), and New York (July 17, 4 p.m.). A broadcast schedule will be announced at a later date.
Roster:
PG: John Wall, Jon Scheyer, Jerome Randle, Sun Yue
SG: Nick Young, Eric Hayes, Cartier Martin
SF:Raymar Morgan, Kevin Palmer,
PF: Trevor Booker, Boo Jackson
C: JaVale McGee, Hamady NDiaye
