I have not seen a thread for this yet so I figured I would get it started.

We know that Favors and Hayward will not be available due to the Olympic team.

That makes Kanter, Burks, Evans from our current roster

So obviously we have a long way to go to fill out our roster.

This is the only News I have seen (Granted I have not looked hard)

Now, at 26, the 2.17m center Salah Mejri wants to turn a childhood dream into reality and play in the NBA. Last week he had two tryouts with the New York Knicks, followed by another with the Denver Nuggets and one with the Dallas Mavericks. However, it’s with the Utah Jazz that he’ll be playing in a summer league in early July. “I am having such good feedback from coaches, which makes me even determined to move on," Mejri said. “If I don’t make it now [to the NBA], because I am 26, I don’t think I will make it later. Via FIBA.com

Brian T. Smith: Ex-Jazz PG and D-League callup Blake Ahearn is an option for Jazz's #NBA Summer League team. Ahearn's interested, open to the opportunity. Via Twitter

Steve Kyler: Hearing my guy Tony Gaffney (@Tony Gaffney) is scheduled to play Summer League with the Utah Jazz...

Here is what I come up with with what I know so far.

C - Kanter, Mejri
PF - Gaffney, Mejri
SF - Evans, 47th pick of the draft (Hummel via ESPN)
SG - Burks
PG - Ahearn, Burks

Any additional summer league info would be welcomed or if I forgot something then flame away.

Mejri is from Tunisia. Let's ink him.

Really? Where did you hear that? Google News doesn't have anything.

Unless it was a top-tier level team, that's kind a stupid move and an admission that you don't have what it takes to potentially stand out over the summer and get some better offers.
 
I'm actually glad Favors and Hayward will not be participating in summer league, not just because the Olympics will be more beneficial to them, but because it will hopefully give Kanter and Burks more of an opportunity to shine.

Unless they do what's been done in years past -- play some other guys extended minutes who are unlikely for even a camp invite while our guys under contract ride the pine. We may see Kanter benched in favor of someone with more experience.
 
Hayward and favors are not on the olympic team. They are on the team that will PRACTICE PLAY against the STARS. Go look at the list to its not filled with stars but marginal players.

Practicing against the best of the best is more beneficial than playing a few games against guys who will probably never make it in the NBA.
