NBA Digital's extensive NBA Summer League 2013 coverage -- the first opportunity to see many of the league's top rookies in action -- will include 62 live game telecasts in 16 days on NBA TV, and all games live via the NBA Summer League Live subscription package on NBA.com and NBA Mobile beginning Sunday, July 7. Live event coverage will feature 24 Summer League games from Orlando (July 7-12), held at the Magic's practice facility at Amway Center, and 38 Summer League games from Las Vegas, held at the Thomas & Mack Center and COX Pavilion from July 12-22, including the first-ever championship game on Monday, July 22, at 9 p.m. ET.

 

Victor Oladipo said some of the subtle differences between college and the NBA that he’s already picked up on is the quickness of the game and the shorter time that teammates come open. He said he’s already beginning to understand the importance of spacing in the NBA game and he likes how defenders aren’t allowed to camp in the lane because of the defensive three-seconds rule.

 

As for playing point guard in the NBA, Oladipo doesn’t see it as being as big of an adjustment as some might think. He often initiated pick-and-roll plays at Indiana, and he’s still working before practice every day to improve his ball-handling. As for defending other point guards, it’s a challenge that he said he is more than up to the task of doing.
 
``I’m a guard, so whatever guard position they want me to run I feel comfortable running it,’’ Oladipo said. ``I pretty much did the same thing at Indiana and ran some (point guard) there. I’ll just do whatever they need in order to help us win. If they need me to play there for us to win, that sounds good to me.’’
