Georgetown University's Kenner League Summer Basketball

Departing Georgetown Hoyas are seeking spots on NBA Summer League rosters, so we serious hoopaholics can start thinking about DC's exciting summer hoops—the Kenner League held on Georgetown's campus at McDonough Arena.


ROSTERS
Basketball in the Kenner League is certainly different from what one will see during the season, but with most of this year's entire roster being underclassmen, it offers fans a great look at what the Hoyas should expect in the coming year.

Georgetown players will be spread out among seven teams in the 11-team league.
Senior guard D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera (Indianapolis, Ind./Oak Hill) and sophomore forward Paul White (Chicago, Ill./Whitney Young) will play for A Wash. Associates, while junior forward Reggie Cameron (Hackensack, N.J./Hudson Catholic) and senior center Bradley Hayes (Jacksonville, Fla./Sandalwood) will play for DCX.

Sophomores Isaac Copeland (Raleigh, N.C./Brewster Academy) and LJ Peak (Gaffney, S.C./Gaffney), who just won a gold medal at the U-19 World Championships with Team USA, will play for Clyde's, while sophomore guard Tre Campbell (Washington, D.C./St. John's College HS) and sophomore Trey Mourning (Miami, Fla./Ransom Everglades) are on the roster for Higher Level. Sophomore transfer Akoy Agau (Omaha, Neb./Omaha Central/Louisville) will play for Ohhs and Ahhs.

Freshmen Jessie Govan (Manhasset, N.Y./Wings Academy) and Kaleb Johnson (Martinsville, Va./Carlisle School) will play for The Tombs, while freshman Marcus Derrickson (Bowie, Md./Brewster Academy [N.H.[) and junior Riyan Williams (Dunkirk, Md./Archbishop Carroll [D.C.]) will play for the Hoop Magic All-Stars.

If you're in the DC area this summer, plan a trip to The Hilltop on Saturday or Sunday to catch exciting summer league ball showcasing a team that will be among the best in the Big East this coming season.
