There’s a special guest at Summer League tonight…

By: Jesse Larch, Sports Talk Philly Staff

T.J. McConnell was present at the Utah Summer League, and Ben Simmons is expected to be in attendance for the Las Vegas Summer League. J.J. Redick and Amir Johnson also just held their debut press conference in Las Vegas with Bryan Colangelo, but there is another guest in attendance who will surely draw attention to himself:

Sam Hinkie is here at summer league.

 That is correct. The architect of the Process is in Vegas. 

It is not known if Hinkie is in Vegas for business or pleasure. Every time there is a front office opening, Hinkie's name comes up after the boom of his previously managed team, your Philadelphia 76ers. 

Regardless, it would be a surprise if Hinkie did not watch some of the fruits of his labor take the floor in person. Hinkie unfortunately resigned before the Sixers began to show promise last season, although fans have surely not forgotten his contribution to the team's future.
