I hope you're joking. The Summer League competition is a joke. I've seen it live with my own 2 eyes (last year). 90% of the players never see an NBA floor, and it's a game of individuals trying to impress GMs and coaches. Nothing else. You get about 1-2 borderline rotation players per team if you're lucky.

And you want some of the competition he'd be facing in Japan?

Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Chris Bosh, Elton Brand, Carmelo Anthony, Shawn Marion, Gilbert Arenas, Barbosa, Nene, Yao Ming, Memo Okur, Nenad Krstic, Peja Stojakovic, etc. Plus he'll be playing against Ginobili and Nocioni everyday in practice.

But yea, the summer league talent is right up there
