Having a good summer league has nothing to do with how good you will actually be in the pros. It does, however, affect whether you are going to get a contract. Aaron Gray had a solid summer.

Surprises: Aaron Gray, who averaged just about 10 points and 5.5 rebounds a game over the entire course of both summer leagues. Some suggested he could be a steal going so deep into the second round of June’s draft, and now it’s looking as though Chicago might be able to use his size and some of his low post moves. John Paxson has said he may explore giving Gray some time in the developmental league, but it also wouldn’t be surprising to see him on the roster come October.

Gray made “honorable mention” in the Orlando summer league session. He has also signed a contract with Chicago. The terms, of course, were not disclosed. It’s a bit jarring though, to see him in a Bulls jersey.
