My brother's keeper
rooks and sophomores usually participate

some 3rd year players will play since they didn't get a SL in last year

Most teams have a SL squad to evaluate young talent and have an idea what to work on over Summer

Some veteran players will play just to get some good runs in over the summer. First one comes to mind is J.R. Smith a couple of summers ago in Vegas.

Noah did too and it (among other things) helped him improve a lot.

It would be cool if they turned the summer league into a little tournament, just to make it a little more interesting. After all the games, the team with the best record from Vegas would play the best team from Orlando. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

I definitly think that's the direction they should go in. They've had teams from other countries in the past from overseas. I know China has had a team there, among others.

They should have all teams participate in Vegas Summer League and end it with a single elimination tournament and crown a MVP and everything.

It's definitly an awesome thing for true basketball fans, but I do think there is even more potential.
