NBA: Jarnell Stokes will play in the NBA Summer League for Portland

If you haven’t been keeping up with former Vol Jarnell Stokes, you’re missing out. The 6-foot-9 forward has developed an outside jumper, like most big men, and can score from anywhere on the court. Developing that skill is enormous for his future with the NBA moving towards a more positionless league.

Last season, Stokes played for the Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers where he scored 24.8 points per game while pulling down 12.2 rebounds. He shot 65.8 percent from the floor, including 44.4 percent from the three-point line.

Back in April, Stokes had a game against Guangdong in the CBA Finals where he scored 38 points and grabbed 15 rebounds.
