Jeff Ledbetter – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Jeff Ledbetter SG – 6’3, 195lbs – Born 15th June 1988 Austin Spurs Ledbetter started the season with the Spurs, going for his third consecutive season with the team, after also having appeared for San Antonio’s summer league team for two consecutive seasons. However, he stayed for only 19 games before leaving the team, seemingly unannounced, to return to Mexico and played with the Manzaneros de Cuauhtémoc. Ledbetter has been a good G-League player and solid pro mostly on account of his sweet shooting; he lacks for size and athleticism, yet he gets looks away in tight space, off the catch and off screens, being one of the better exponents of the latter category, which immediately conveys value. He does less work off the dribble, but he does pass with a bit of flair out of pick-and-roll situations, a bit like a younger, smaller version of Marco Belinelli. I am sure the (Austin) Spurs would take him back if he wanted to continue his G-League career, because he is an excellent role player whose talents complement the development of any prospects he is paired with. It seems as though he does not want that, though. – 20th June, 2019 This above is extracted from the following page in the The Basketball Manifesto, an entirely free 3,775 page, 1.2 million word-ish basketball reference book which contains reviews, strategies, ideas, opinions, and a whole lot of scouting on men’s world basketball. – View tons more player profiles like this from the Manifesto here.
