    Can you even imagine the emotions going this kid's head in such a short period of time. From probably utter dejection not being drafted and missing on his lifelong dream, to having it turned around just like that and being given a chance from the Los Angeles Lakers. Good for him. Good for our FO looking like they really have their s*** together.

    Ball/
    Hart/Nwaba
    Ingram/Dozier
    Kuzma/
    Zubac/Bryant

    Should be fun. I can't wait to see what Ball brings. I'm eager to see if and by how much Ingram and Zubac have improved. Hopefully the kids really buy in.

    I really hope Ingram doesn't play in summer league. I don't want him getting hurt.

    At this point Ingram needs to continue to grow and improve with the things we want him to do. Can't be scared of injury and over protective.

    Now if he bangs knees or gets a minor injury at practice leading up to summer league than yes, we should be cautious. But by all accounts he is healthy and ready to roll

    The kid played the most minutes of any rookie last season.

    I don't think a few summer league games are going to do anything to him.

    It's only 3 games, if he's gonna get hurt playing basketball, he's gonna get hurt playing basketball, it's the job.

    It's not only 3 games. Its the 3 games on the schedule and then how we do during those games decides our seeding. We will play a minimum of 5 games.

    I hope Ingram plays. Curious to see his progress. When Clarkson played in his second summer league, he clearly showed he was way better than the summer competition and a legitimate NBA player.

    Yup. And he should take advantage even if its limited minutes. Its good confidence. Oh, and develop chemistry with team mates? Id be inexcusable not to play IMO now thinking about it.

    The 2 Philadelphia all injury 1st Team Tweeters aren't playing. Their team has no faith they can be 100 yards near a court and not get injured.

    I'm pretty excited for the defensive potential of these players, team could have a lot of length.

    Embiid is a shaky talent. Simmons breaking his foot already isn't a good sign either... Randle atleast has played two seasons since his injuries.

    I can't wait till we see Philly during the regular season.

    Not going to know until those first 3 games are played. But we are guaranteed 2 additional games after the first 3
