ESPN NBA

It has been three weeks since we had NBA basketball to watch, and in a certain sense (does Michael Sweetney count?) it's back today. At 3 p.m. Eastern you can start watching the Orlando Pro Summer League for free online. Schedule and results, when available, are here.

Here is a quick an unscientific run-down of the teams and a few notable players:

Boston Celtics

• Coby Karl George Karl's son, trying again to stick in the NBA.
• Bill Walker Once one of the most gifted players in the nation, batting a reputation as injury-prone and emotional.
• Gabe Pruitt He has been a regular-season Celtic for some time, but never seems to have earned Doc Rivers' trust as a backup guard.

Indiana Pacers

• Tyler Hansbrough His first chance to show what he can do on the court, after all the talk of "doubters" surrounding the draft.
  
• Roy Hibbert He started for half the season in the NBA. This is his chance to show if he can continue to add skill and polish.
• Brandon Rush His family produces a lot of elite basketball players, including Kareem and JaRon. Brandon helped Kansas to a national title, and has the potential to become a 6-6 athlete who can shoot the NBA 3.

New Jersey Nets/Philadelphia 76ers (combined team)

• Chris Douglas-Roberts Everyone's favorite feisty forward, and Derrick Rose's former college teammate, has a lot to prove, and this is his chance.
• Jrue Holiday Widely seen as one of the best point guards in the draft, Holiday fell out of the lottery on word of a shoulder injury. He also played out of position in college -- so he probably feels ready to surprise some people with his skils.
• Dionte Christmas One of those players you have to root for, Christmas did not get drafted and is trying to make an NBA team.
• Marreese Speights Speights is very effective offensively against regular season competition, and could do a ton of damage here.
  

Oklahoma City Thunder

• Russell Westbrook He's a fantastic NBA player who needs no introduction. I imagine he's here because his shooting percentage is low, and this might be a chance to work on ways to get it higher.
• James Harden The Thunder are counting on great things from their lottery pick.
  
• Serge Ibaka Many articles have been written about the Thunder's many young players with potential. Most forget to mention the African big man who has been playing in Europe. He gets a chance to make an American name for himself this week.
• Shaun Livingston The former lottery pick who played well for the Thunder last year gets to continue re-inventing himself after a devestating knee injury while playing for the Clippers.

Orlando Magic

• Ryan Anderson Until recently, he was always referred to as a talented Nets big man with potential, but he got a new uniform in the Vince Carter trade.
• Jeremy Pargo Jannero's little brother, who made a name for himself at Gonzaga, gets to try his hand playing against NBA talent.
• C.J. Giles Giles has long been considered a player with NBA potential, but he has had a disappointing string of off-court trouble.
  

Utah Jazz

• Kosta Koufos He's one of my favorite young NBA big men in the regular season, and ought to do very well here. UPDATE: Koufos is injured, and reportedly won't play.
  
• Eric Maynor The Jazz are high on their new point guard, who will need to demonstrate that he can thrive in the Jazz' disciplined offense.
• Goran Suton Remember in the NCAA tournament when the Michigan State center was hitting 3s? That looked unstoppable. But NBA GMs have judged Suton to be wholly stoppable, as he was drafted 50th overall.
