It’s a two-way deal for the 6’10”, 270 pound center. He played in just 13 games for the Knicks last season, but still gets a championship ring.
The 26-year-old went undrafted, but eventually found his way into the league with the Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards back in the 2023-24 season.
He played in 22 games for the LA Lakers the following year, and this past season he caught on with the Knicks.
Jemison has a 7’2” wingspan and can be a lob threat on the offensive side of the ball. He also brings a physical presence to the frontcourt and has decent athleticism for a player of his size.
He has played on five teams over his three-season career, averaging 3.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks across 74 total games played.
