It’s that time of the year again as the NBA Summer League is back and underway. As many of us already know, there's currently eight former Tar Heels on summer league rosters.
I figured it would be cool to see a side-by-side comparison of how each player is doing so here it is. Enjoy!
Theo Pinson (Brooklyn) - 24.2 MPG, 10.2 PTS, 3.6 REB, 3.0 AST, 30% shooting through 4 games.
Kennedy Meeks (Charlotte) - 13.2 MPG, 6.6 PTS, 6.8 REB, 1.0 AST, 50% shooting through 5 games.
Isaiah Hicks (Charlotte) - 20.0 MPG, 9.8 PTS, 5.0 REB, 2.0 AST, 69% shooting through 5 games.
Coby White (Chicago) - 30.8 MPG, 15.0 PTS, 5.6 REB, 4.8 AST, 1.4 STL, 34% shooting through 5 games.
Luke Maye (Milwaukee) - 13.7 MPG, 3.0 PTS, 4.0 REB, 0.7 AST, 19% shooting through 3 games.
Nassir Little (Portland) - 17.5 MPG, 3.3 PTS, 3.3 REB, 0.5 AST, 33% shooting through 4 games.
Kenny Williams (San Antonio) - 17.0 MPG, 3.2 PTS, 2.8 REB, 1.4 AST, 0.6 STL, 26% shooting through 5 games.
Tony Bradley (Utah) - 26.0 MPG, 19.7 PTS, 11.3 REB, 2.7 AST, 1.0 BLK, 1.0 STL, 56% shooting through 3 games.
*Cam Johnson is being held out of action (along with other Suns draft pick Ty Jerome) because his deal was not finalized until July 6, meaning he had no time to practice with the team prior to summer league play starting. A weird move to say the least when you consider how many games still remain but his spot on the roster should not be in jeopardy heading into the regular season.

Here are some of the best highlights/performances we've seen so far:

All stats have been updated and here are a few things that stand out:
- Tony Bradley continutes to impress after a 23p/13r/2blk performance Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. Seems to be coming into his own this summer and is doing all he can to earn a roster spot.
- Coby White's putting up solid numbers but his FG% continues to go down, this time from 40% to 36%.
- Isaiah Hicks' minutes, ppg and FG% continue to go up through 4 games. Would be shocked if he doesn't at least earn a two-way contract from the Hornets based on the way he's playing right now.
- Nassir Little picked up a left shoulder injury in the first half of Portland's game against OKC on Thursday night. He didn't return and the severity of his injury is still unknown.
He also didn't play Friday night in the Trailblazers' 99-84 win over the Bucks. It’s unlikely he will play again this summer.
Here's a video of his injury:

Looking at the numbers, which players do you think have the best chance of making a final roster (or at least getting at two-way contract) when the season starts in October?
