The guys over at Ridiculous Upside have put together a nice, thorough look at the NBA Summer League in Orlando.  There are several "hey-I-remember-him" guys recapped, and one in particular from my alma mater.

Former Tennessee star, and all-time SEC 3 point record holder Chris Lofton spent the last few weeks in game action with the Celtics, after burning up the Turkish league last year.

From RU:

He came into camp with a reputation as a good three-point shooter, and Summer League only emphasized that - he made 60 percent of his threes.  He didn't really offer much else, with a combined five rebounds, three assists and three steals in five games, but he also didn't turn the ball over (four total), and he had the best free-throw percentage on Boston's entire roster, a respectable 89 percent.  If teams are looking for an outside shooter, Lofton is one of the best prospects coming out of Orlando.

Fellow SEC alum (and '08 second round Warrior pick) Richard Hendrix spent the league with the Magic and has a legitimate shot to make a Magic roster with Gortat off to Dallas this offseason.

Now underway for the "League hopefuls" is NBA Las Vegas.

UPDATE:  According to Dallas News, the Magic have matched the offer sheet on Gortat, so Hendrix may need to look at plan B to make a roster.
