Outlook

While five former Zags will be playing in the summer league, I only think 2 or 3 will have a real shot at making an NBA roster.

Both Collins and Williams-Goss should be solid rotational pieces on their respective teams. Jordan Mathews is the other player I could see earning an opportunity, but will most likely fluctuate between the G-League and NBA bench.

Karnowski just doesn’t have athleticism and versatility to match the current NBA game. We can, however, expect him to become a star in Europe.
