The roster that will take the court over the course of those 10 days include second-year guard Joe Harris and 2015 second-round draft picks Rakeem Christmas and Sir’Dominic Pointer.

The entire summer league roster is as follows: forward Jerrelle Benimon, forward/center Rakeem Christmas, guard Quinn Cook, forward Eric Griffin, guard Joe Harris, guard Tyler Haws, guard Trevor Lacey, guard/forward Sir’Dominic Pointer, guard D.J. Seeley, forward John Shurna, guard Keifer Sykes, forward D.J. White and forward Talib Zanna.
