Trey Jemison III

Trey Jemison III is the kind of center every contender quietly needs: a 6-10 rim-protector who fights for position, finishes lobs, and never needs a play called for him. Undrafted out of UAB in 2023 — where he set a single-season school rebounding record — he turned a run of 10-days and two-ways into a real NBA foothold, passing through Washington, Memphis, New Orleans and the Lakers before landing in New York. His breakthrough came on a 2024 Grizzlies two-way: 14 starts and a career-high 24 points against Washington. And there's a real prize on the resume — he was on the Knicks' roster for their 2026 title run past San Antonio. 'Journeyman' is the tag, but the tape shows a big who earns every call-up on effort and screen-setting, not noise.
