Former Cal center/forward Aimaq will try to make an impression in the summer league's nationally televised opener
Former Cal center/forward Fardaws Aimaq is still holding out hope of playing in the NBA, and getting invited to play for the Sacramento Kings' summer league team is the first step in that process. And presumably he will get some national television exposure in his first summer game on Saturday against the Lakers and Bronny James.
A strong performance in the summer could create interest from other NBA teams or prepare Aimaq to play in another county. Aimaq was not taken in last week's NBA draft, and players on the NBA summer league rosters could be players who were drafted last week, NBA players who had limited playing time this past season, G-league players, foreign players, or free agents like Aimaq.
He is one of 10 players currently on the Kings' summer league roster. Devin Carter, the Kings' first-round draft pick out of Providence, is one of the Kings' summer league players. Two others were on Pac-12 rosters this past season -- USC's Boogie Ellis and Washington State's Isaac Jones -- and neither was taken in last week's draft.
