The NBA Summer League in Orlando starts today, followed by the Vegas league next week. This will be an important time for several former Boilermakers (see the full Purdue/NBA schedule here), it may be more important for E’Twaun Moore than any other former Boilermaker.
E’Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson, along with the entire NBA draft class of 2011, didn’t get a chance to gain experience playing in the NBA Summer Leagues last year due to the NBA Lockout. While E’Twaun went overseas and played very well in Italy before the NBA season started in December, it didn’t prove to be an adequate replacement for working with potential NBA players and real NBA coaches in the summer league.
