MIAMI (AP) — Justin Hamilton says he’s been doubted throughout his basketball career. So the way he sees it, heading to summer league with the Miami Heat is just another way to prove some people wrong.
The 7-foot center will be in camp with the Heat starting this weekend, as the team puts together a roster to compete later this month at the NBA summer league in Las Vegas. Hamilton was selected with the 45th pick in this year’s draft.
By nature, that would make Hamilton a very long shot to join the Heat for their championship defense next season. The former LSU center says he’s eager for the chance anyway.
Miami’s summer roster will play five games from July 15 through July 21.
