You would have to think his performances in the te last 3 games would warrant an invite to camp surely. 9 points in Lower minutes and then 19 and 26 points once starting.

Even if he gets a gig in the NBA it is a great advertisement for the NBL. Win, win, loss!
I don't like Wilbekin's chances with Phill just signing Pierre Jackson to a 4 year contract along with Tony Wroten & Isaiah Canaan under contract.
I guess its not just the 76ers that can sign him.
He is putting his best foot forward which is all he can do.
Being a Philly fan I can tell you that a lot of other fans really want to sign him (which means nothing obviously). Like the anon above said signing Jackson hurts his chances a bit but apart from him the only other Pg's they have are Canaan (who is terrible) and Wroten who is more of a combo guard. So he is definitely a chance to make it. Certainly looks like getting a training camp invite with someone.
^ Spot on he can be signed by anyone. Calathes another Florida PG who came out without any NBA interest but cracked the league after a few years overseas.
Does Wilbekin have a shot in OKC with Donovan coaching there now?
Worst case for Cairns they have Worthington haha

Have been watching most of the Summer League, mainly because I wanted to see how Brock Motum went but also to get a good look at Justin Anderson and Justise Winslow.
Scotty has been really impressive, but his lack of size is is going to factor into this.
Have also been very impressed with Seth Curry but also under-sized for the 2Guard spot.

Guys its Philly of course he has a shot, Scottie is balling. Philly had worse players on there roster last year!

A French team are trying to get him. @IAmDPick on Twitter:
French club Strasbourg are recruiting Scottie Wilbekin, I've been told. He signed in Australia, has out till Aug 1.
Not 1 team but bunch of European teams are and will be after Scottie Wilbekin. Euroleague level PG, very poised playmaker. Maybe NBA future.

Hmm... that Euro out but Aug 1 is interesting... You'd like to think he'd keep his commitment to Cairns, but it's in there for a reason, and he would be generating a lot of interest so far and Euro would probably be best for him, might as well pull the plug and do it now if he doesn't make an NBA roster...
Does anyone know when training camps are? I remember when Delly was trying to make it they were a fair way past summer leagues?

I wonder what Cairns are offering $120-$140k.Problem is the Aussie dollar is down to 75cents against the US dollar.Dropped alot compared to this time last year.
NBA training camps usually start in early-mid September.
