Former IU basketball long-range sniper Devonte Green will be part of the IU basketball themed The Basketball Tournament (TBT) squad this summer, it was announced on Friday.
He is the fourth known player on the team.
Troy Williams, Juwan Morgan and Miller Kopp were the three players first announced as part of the “Assembly Ball” IU team in the annual summer event. Christian Watford is expected to have a role as well.
Green graduated from Indiana in 2020. He scored 954 points, averaging 8.0 through his career and 2.0 assists from 2016-20. He shot 37.7% from 3-point range and had a career-high 30 points in a win over No. 17 Florida State in 2019, and 27 in a victory over No. 21 Iowa in 2020.
The New York native finished 55th in career scoring at IU and tied for 12th all-time for the Hoosiers with 164 3-point field goals.
After IU, Green played for the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Summer League, and then for various teams overseas.
TBT squads typically have around 10 players.
