First-round pick Justin Patton won't play in the NBA Summer League for the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a foot injury, but a few big names from the college basketball world look to lead the roster.

Perry Ellis, who starred at Kansas and Marcus Paige -- the UNC product who hit the incredible game-tying 3-pointer in the 2016 national championship -- will play for the Timberwolves in Las Vegas.
