The Clippers would like Kobe Brown to be part of their long-term future, but will the young forward take the next step in his development?

Starting lineups have yet to be released by either team, but the consensus around the Houston Rockets is that they will be led by second-year guard Reed Sheppard, who is preparing to take on an increased role next season. He will use the Summer League as a building block for the upcoming regular season this year.
