Preparations continue for Summer League in Las Vegas as the Milwaukee Bucks add Le’Bryan Nash to their roster for the event.

With NBA Summer League in Las Vegas now only a matter of days away, the Milwaukee Bucks continue to ready themselves for action and make the final tweaks to their roster.

One of the more recent additions to the team’s squad ahead of the first game of the competition against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, is 24-year-old wing Le’Bryan Nash.

Nash is probably best known stateside for his time at Oklahoma State. A five star recruit coming out of high school, Nash played his part in a highly competitive Cowboys team throughout his five years in college, of course, notably partnering up with Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart for two of those seasons.

Nash entered the 2015 NBA Draft once his college playing days had finished, but went undrafted before finally settling on playing overseas.

Having finished up his time at Oklahoma State with a senior year that saw him average 17.2 points per game, there was little doubting Nash’s scoring pedigree to begin with, but it’s something he has further showcased in one of Japan’s elite leagues.

Nash finished the 2015-16 season with the Fukushima Firebirds as the bj-league’s leading scorer (26.6 points per game), the All-Star game MVP, the proud owner of the highest scoring game in league history (54 points) and he was named to the league’s Best Five Team.

As debut professional seasons go, Nash certainly didn’t have a bad one.

Nash spoke to Tulsa World about how grateful he was for the opportunity to showcase his skill in an NBA environment.

“That’s all I can ask for. Just thank God for the Bucks getting me an opportunity to get on that team.”

Nash is confident he has learned from his time in Japan and will be hoping to put himself in a position to play where, he told The Japan Times, he has always felt like he belongs.

“I think I should’ve been in the NBA, but all I can do is prove myself and show them that they made a mistake.”

Milwaukee’s Summer League roster is starting to take shape. The expectation from most who are closely following the Bucks is that Rashad Vaughn, Thon Maker and Malcolm Brogdon will be among those leading the charge, although there’s no shortage to impressive outside talents who have also been added over the past few weeks.

Question marks may surround the participation of D-League All-Star Ronald Roberts who just signed a contract with a professional team in Turkey, but there’s still a chance that he will remain committed to the team in hopes of an even bigger opportunity.

Potential Bucks Summer League Squad (So Far):

Rashad Vaughn, Malcolm Brogdon, Thon Maker, Terran Petteway, Steve Sir, Ronald Roberts, Prince Ibeh, Le’Bryan Nash, Ra’Shad James, Devin Williams, Travis Trice
