Nevill to Get Shot With NBA's Hornets
He might have gone undrafted, but that doesn't mean Luke Nevill isn't going to get his chance.

The 7-foot-2 center is expected to play for the New Orleans Hornets at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where 21 teams will compete from July 10-19 at the Thomas & Mack Center. That means that not only will Nevill have a chance to impress the Hornets, but also any of the other teams that will be watching the action.

Incidentally, the Hornets used the 21st pick of the draft on UCLA's Darren Collison, and traded second-round picks for LSU's Marcus Thornton. Both are guards, meaning the Hornets probably could still use somebody to step up and challenge the unspectacular group of big men who back up starting center Tyson Chandler.
