Dez Wells, who had an injury-riddled 2015-16 season as an undrafted free agent and never made an NBA roster for the regular season, will play for the Chicago Bulls at Las Vegas summer league, a person with knowledge of the situation told CSNmidatlantic.com on Sunday.

Wells accepted the invite and hopes to crack the 15-man roster of a team that could be going through significant restructuring after missing the playoffs.

The shooting guard joined the Wizards for summer league immediately after the 2015 draft. The team wanted their No. 49 pick to go overseas to get experience, expecting that player to not be ready for the NBA.

Wells insisted that he was and that was a factor into forward Aaron White being the Wizards’ No. 49 pick instead. White played in Germany last season.

Wells never got a chance to show what he could do with the Wizards. He injured the right thumb on his shooting hand at mini-camp before summer league that turned out to be a dislocation. He declined a training camp invite with Washington and joined the Oklahoma City Thunder instead and was waived just before the regular season.

Wells played in the D-League for the Oklahoma City Blue but his season there was ruined by hamstring strains.

He averaged 15.1 points as a senior at Maryland. In 24 D-League appearances, Wells averaged 12.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists.
