This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Boston Globe columnist Gary Washburn, who is on location at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Washburn tells why former Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard’s future in the league may not be in Houston. He gives an update on how Koby Brea is shooting his way onto the Phoenix Suns‘ roster. And Washburn explains why the path to making the league for players on two-way contracts like former Louisville guard Chucky Hepburn isn’t as difficult as it once was.
