When someone gets selected in the first round of the NBA draft, they are guaranteed a contract. Not a big one, in fact, rookies always get the minimum to start, but they are for sure going to get some money. Thus, the Phoenix Suns have signed Robin Lopez. Little trivia info: Robin Lopez signed on with the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, July 10, 2008.
Second round picks have to prove that they're worth it before the team signs them. D.J. Strawberry is a perfect example of that.
The Summer League is mostly rookies, undrafted guys hoping to impress, guys that have played for a few years and are looking for a job, and some second year players. Right now the Suns are giving D.J., Alando, and Robin a lot of minutes so that they can get in NBA game shape, and to see where they're biggest weaknesses are. Just getting some, maybe, extra scouting done and whatnot.
