Well genius, given there are 347 D1 NCAA squads, that means there are approx. 5200 players vying for those 450 spots. 

So only at most the best 8-9% of D1 players get an invite. And it's both axiomatic and wholly obvious that an overwhelming majority will not make a roster on an NBA team looking to fill  - what, maybe 100 roster spots in total?

So what was your point. exactly?

I’m thinking your math is a bit off as all 5200 players aren’t seniors.  Also all the Ivy League seniors have higher paying job opportunities.

Actually probably a 1000.   300 or so are smart enough to have better options.

You get the point.   Not more than 20-25% leave and pursue an NBA career

I wonder if Kendall Stephens has any real shot at sticking with a team? I suspect probably not because he doesn't seem to be versatile enough, but that guy is a pretty phenomenal outside shooter with good length so I could see him maybe becoming a 3-point shooting specialist in the NBA eventually. Pack fans, what do you guys think about this?

You could add more then just seniors and undrafted underclasemm too as a lot of summer league guys are 2nd and 3rd year players from the NBA and Gleague too.

With his first year guaranteed he picks up a cool $1.4 million.

He should get minutes now that he’s almost 22.  You look at the record of 19 year olds in the NBA, and very few get minutes right off the bat.

Miami leads the lakers 48-29 with 2+ left in the first half.

Not Summer League, but Boston and Houston looking at former UCSB swingman James Nunnally.

oh my goodness, DJ!  Bagley just got out of his way, the announcers can't quit talking about him. He's had a great week in Sacramento, can't wait to watch him here on Saturday.

It makes sense that things are clicking.  When he was a freshman at UNLV, the scouts said he needed three years of school.

I updated the original post to include several more MW players, including Josh Adams, Gian Clavell, Cam Oliver, James Webb, Chris Wood, etc, in addition to Hutchison, Stephens, DJ, Khem Birch, etc.

You forgot to include Stanton Kidd from CSU who was a late addition to the Utah Jazz Summer League roster.  Stanton in killing it so far, averaging 14 points and 4 rebounds in his two games.  Here's a YouTube video of his highlights from last night's game vs Atlanta:

Thanks, I’ll add him to the OP! I had that game on, but wasn’t paying much attention, except when Grayson Allen was being Grayson Allen.
