The Seattle (hopefully, they'll still be in Seattle) Supersonics announced their Orlando Pro Summer League roster today. First round picks Russell Westbrook & D.J. White will be there...along with second round pick DeVon Hardin. Suprisingly, second-year player Jeff Green will hit the hardwood in O-Town, too...but no Kevin Durant. I guess when you're the Rookie of the Year, you really don't need to prove yourself in the summer leagues. Anyways, here's the roster. You can also read the Sonics press release after the jump.
