They still have a qualifying offer out for Cartier Martin, who played well at summer league and is expected to get a training camp invitation. Lester Hudson is also likely going to audition for a spot when the team convenes in late September. The team rescinded a qualifying offer for Cedric Jackson last week, making him an unrestricted free agency. It is also still undecided about signing second-round pick Hamady N'Diaye. "We're working on finalizing the last couple of spots on the roster," Grunfeld said. "We have a couple of months to do that. We're going to see which opportunities are available to us, which players are available to us and then we'll act accordingly. Washington Post

He delivered on that lesson Thursday night, making all five of his first-half shots and finishing with a team-high 23 points in the team's third straight summer league win.

"I really don't know," he said, when asked about the chances of that happening. "But I'm confident being here, so hopefully they'll give me a chance, and I'm definitely gonna prove that I can play in this league." Washington Post
