The NBA Summer League is underway, giving fans their first look at many of the league's newest players while also providing young veterans an opportunity to continue their development.

This summer, two former Washington State Cougars will be competing on the NBA stage in Cedric Coward with the Memphis Grizzlies and Isaac Jones with the Detroit Pistons.

While the NBA's premier Summer League takes place in Las Vegas beginning Thursday, July 9, there were two smaller events that tipped off beforehand: the Salt Lake City Summer League and the California Classic Summer League. The Salt Lake City Summer League features four teams, while the California Classic includes teams playing in Sacramento and the Bay Area. Unlike the Las Vegas Summer League, which runs over 10 days and includes all 30 NBA franchises, the smaller events last only three days.
