On Thursday, July 29, Luka Garza and Joe Wieskamp became the 54th and 55th Iowa basketball players selected in the history of the NBA Draft. 

On Tuesday, they began their professional careers at the NBA's annual summer league. 

Wieskamp, the 41st overall pick to the San Antonio Spurs, made his summer league debut Tuesday night. He recorded four points, three rebounds and two assists in a 87-58 loss to Utah Jazz White in the Utah Summer League, which is played until August 6.
