I think Dalano, David Johnson and Champagnie are the only NBA guys locked in for summer league.
They might have Malachi there as well, and we still have the partial guarantee with Armoni so he has a chance too, but not sure why people think guys like Yuta or Svi will be on the roster.

Bonga and Yuta will be free agents by the time summer league starts and I don’t see us trying to bring back either
Doubt we waste a summer league roster spot on either. And just don’t see any way shape or form Svi agrees to play summer league. He played 1 g league game this season and dropped an efficient 40 piece. He’s clearly too good for that level

He wasn't efficient. He is also lacking consistent efficiency in the CEBL. A league full of G Leaguers, former NBA part-timers and Euro league pros. It's just not a good look to be consistently inconsistent in multiple leagues. He's definitely taken a step back. Looking a lot like a high end G Leaguer right now. It sucks, I hope he can make it back to the NBA, but its not looking good.
He was poor from 3 this year (maybe that's where he took a step back, he did shoot well in his short stint in the G), pretty efficient from 2 though (46+% in Europe). 2nd in PPG in the CEBL.
Again, if he's going to be an impactful combo-guard in the NBA he needs that 3-ball. But I don't think he's discounted himself either from being an end-of-bench roleplaying scorer either.
And he probably played for Scarborough for a reason (to bring himself in closer contact with the Raps).

Taken a step back from what? Miniscule minutes on the Raps? 7 games with the 905?

i can't pretend to have followed any part of jalen harris' career since he got suspended from the NBA, but looking now i see he's leading his team in scoring and is second in the entire league, albeit not efficiently at all.
not sure if that's a huge concern or not. people often expect players to just dominate other leagues if they've ever gotten a whiff of the NBA, and mentally write them off if they don't. but as luka said, the NBA is generally an easier league to score in. the space afforded players in the NBA is not seen in europe or in college, which are also generally more physical.
i've never watched a CEBL game so can't comment on what that league is like, but if similar that could partially explain the efficiency dip (along with being the center of the opponent's defensive game plan, as hypothesized by others above).
i don't have strong feelings about him one way or the other, but hope he is reinstated and gets a camp invite to battle it out for a roster spot

Everywhere he's gone he's played a limited number of games. A limited number in the NBA, G League, France (he did not play a full season) and now CEBL. The only thing consistent, is his inconsistency. THAT and he's able to score in ways no NBA team will ever give him the freedom to play. We're talking about an end of bench guy here. If he was more than that he would be scoring at way higher FG%s in non-NBA leagues.
Yeah, not sure why you're quoting me like this.

If he ever wants to play another game in the NBA he shouldn't be thinking he's 'too good' for anything at this point.
Either way, I'd prefer to cut and run, if possible.

Svi may be too good for G league (I guess?) but it definitely wouldn't hurt for him to remind people of that, if so, as he's looked like absolute trash at the NBA level, (sorry Svi.).

Whats the benefit for him? If he plays and kills it he shows what we already know (he’s better than a g leaguer). If he plays and stinks it up he plummets his value even more
