Washington Wizards: Ranking 2019 NBA Summer League players
By Ben Yokoyama
14. Jeff Withey
In his first NBA Summer League since 2014, Jeff Withey played just two games, scoring 3.5 points in 12.1 minutes. He only brought in just one total rebound despite starting both games.
The Kansas product, who was drafted with the 39th pick back in 2013, still has good defensive instincts as he recorded three blocks and two steals, but it was not enough to make any sort of impact.
13. Jemerrio Jones
Jemerrio Jones played three games this summer and had little chance to show off his skills. At 6’5” he is an undersized forward with great rebounding ability. He never had much of an impact on any game due to his lack of playing time.
Undrafted out of New Mexico State in 2018, Jones played last season with the South Bay Lakers and earned a multi-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers before being traded to Washington this offseason.
Jones scored just six points, but did manage to collect 13 rebounds in 26.6 total minutes this summer. His rebounding numbers in the G League were fantastic, 9.5 in 24.7 minutes, as well as in college, averaging 13.2 in 28.4 minutes per game his senior season.
12. Corey Davis Jr.
One of two undrafted Houston guards on the roster, Corey Davis Jr. saw bits of time in three games. An all-around player in college, his life in the NBA will depend on him sinking 3’s and successfully leading an offense.
Davis made 2-of-4 3-balls and did not turn it over in his 31.7 total minutes this summer, but he seemed very passive on offense. He seemed hesitant to shoot and rarely put the ball on the deck as a true point guard would.
