After he went undrafted in the 2015 NBA Draft, former Maryland standout Dez Wells will play for the Washington Wizards‘ summer league team.

Wells, 23, was considered to be a late second-round pick. Wells spent his final three years at the University of Maryland after transferring from Xavier.

Despite lacking the pedigree of other rookies, Wells should be able to make the final roster for the Wizards because of his versatility.

A knock on Wells is that he doesn’t necessarily do anything great.

Wells’ ability to knock down the outside shot and create baskets for himself will carry over to the next level. Filling up the stat sheet, he averaged 15.1 points and five rebounds per game in his final season as a Terrapin.

He shot 46 percent from the field last year, his lowest percentage from his entire collegiate career. The 23-year-old also shot 51 percent from three-point range, which was by far his highest percentage during his four years.

Wells didn’t shoot the ball every time he touched it, but he was smart whenever he hoisted up a shot. Wells takes good, efficient shots and doesn’t have “J.R. Smith syndrome.”

Granted, Wells is a slasher, not a knock-down, dead-eye shooter.

CSN’s J. Michael reported the belief is that Wells is ‘expected’ to make the final roster.

“[Wells] is expected to make to make the 15-man roster for the 2015-2016 season. because of his ability to score and it fills a need off the bench,” Michael said.

Adding Wells would certainly provide the team with versatility and production from a bench player. Wells can replace some of the scoring Paul Pierce was responsible for last year.

Aside from his impressive and efficient shooting ability, Wells is a tremendous athlete. During a game last year against Rutgers, Wells jumped completely over a Scarlet Knights player.

Wells’ 225 body is thicker than most shooting guards, and he bullied his way to the rim against smaller players.

Wells is an exciting player who has a penchant for highlight-reel dunks. He’s the type of player who can slam one down and help energize his teammates and the crowd.

Dez already has a connection with the best players on the Wizards, too.

All-Star point guard John Wall and Wells are both from Raleigh, NC, and they were high school teammates at Word of God Christian Academy.

The two have remained friends, with Wall entrenched in the role of Wells’s big brother.

“John was like one of the first guys that I saw, in Raleigh, like really make it,” Wells said, during an episode of The Big Ten Network’s series “The Journey.” “So I just kept working and he always told me, you know, hard work pays off … He would always challenge me. And whenever he challenged me, I always saw myself getting better.”

Dez Wells is a hard-working player who has the drive that some players who are more talented than him lack.

Whether he becomes a consistent playmaker in D.C. or not remains to be seen, but Wells should absolutely be considered a favorite to make the final roster.

He can offer a little bit of everything, and he certainly is in with the right people.
