Hasbrouck passing on summer league; Heads for Heat

Recent Siena graduate Kenny Hasbrouck is also trying to find a niche in the NBA. Apparently working his way there through the Summer League is not on his list of priorities.
Hasbrouck passed on an opportunity to play with Hasheem Thabeet, Sam Young, and the Memphis Grizzlies. Instead, he will play with the Miami Heat. Ironically, the Heat do not have a Summer League team. According to the Albany Times Union, Hasbrouck will compete with 18 other players for a roster spot in camp.
Providing that Hasbrouck does not make the Heat, which is probably a safe bet, he has an offer to play professionally in Israel.
He opted to skip out on Memphis because they have too many guards, and he felt Miami provided a better opportunity. It remains to be seen if he will be taking any minutes away from Dwyane Wade...
