Ah, the NBA Summer League. The chance for undrafted players and those who had to go overseas for another shot at making the NBA roster. A couple former Pitt greats will join the fun.

Guard Vonteego Cummings, a three-year NBA veteran who ranks among the top 10 all-time in three categories for the Panthers, will play for the New Jersey Nets’ team in the Pepsi Pro Summer League in Orlando, Fla. And forward Chevon Troutman, the second-leading scorer for Pitt two seasons ago, will play for the Chicago Bulls’ team in the Orlando league.

Cummings, who last played in the NBA for the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2001-02 season, ranks 10th all-time in scoring at Pitt with 1,581 points, fifth in assists (458) and second in steals (235) as a starter in 97 of 103 career games.

Cummings was selected in the first round of the 1999 NBA draft before being traded to Golden State, where he played his first two seasons.

Troutman, a 6-foot-7 forward, spent last season playing professionally in Italy.

Their chances of making it are slim. They do, however, get to pick up a check and keep making money by playing basketball.
