After almost a year of competition in Ukraine’s Euroleague, former University of Portland point guard Pooh Jeter is back in United States for another shot at the Las Vegas Summer League.
Jeter, 24, will suit up for the Minnesota Timberwolves alongside former UCLA forward Kevin Love and ex-Duck guard Bryce Taylor.
As a Pilot, the 5-11 Jeter led the team in scoring his junior and
senior years and finished his career as the school’s second-all time
leading scorer.

Maurice Brooks/TrueHoop on Kevin Love:
The 6-foot-10 bruiser appears a little too small to play center, and

Love’s biggest asset is his technique. He may not dominate the glass
tonight, but eventually he’ll figure out the little tricks of the trade
and I see him splitting time successfully at both the 4 and the 5.

We’ll see if he can shake the "good skills but not athletic enough for
the NBA" label. With all of the hopes and dreams the Timberwolves and
their fans have invested in Love, this is the first chance to see what
he can actually do.
