Markeith Cummings
Markeith Terrell Cummings (born December 21, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for Flamengo of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). He played college basketball for Kennesaw State University.
Cummings attended Alfred E. Beach High School in Savannah, Georgia, where he was a three-time Chatham County first-team All-City honoree with the basketball team, a standout quarterback for the football team, and played catcher and center field for the baseball team. As a junior in 2005–06, he led the Beach basketball team to a 27–6 record and a berth in the Region 3-AAAAA Championship Game. As a senior in 2006–07, he averaged 14.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game as he and future college teammate LaDaris Green led Beach to 28 wins and the Class AAAAA state basketball quarter-finals. He subsequently earned Savannah Morning News first-team All-Greater Savannah honors and was selected to represent the South All-Stars in the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association (GACA) high school all-star game.
Cummings arrived at Kennesaw State after a very successful prep career at Beach High School and a postgraduate year at Genesis One Christian School in Mendenhall, Mississippi, teaming with fellow Owl LaDaris Green at both schools. After he and Green redshirted the 2008–09 season, both players began their freshman seasons in 2009–10. Cummings made an immediate impact as a redshirt freshman as he appeared in all 33 games with 31 starting assignments. He earned second-team All-Atlantic Sun Conference and Atlantic Sun All-Freshman team honors after averaging 17.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 34.0 minutes per game. He totalled a career-high 575 points, tallied double figures 32 times, led the Owls in scoring 21 times and earned Player of the Week honors two times. Despite being a freshman, his career high of 32 points scored on December 2, 2009, against Belmont was never eclipsed in his four-year career.
As a sophomore in 2010–11, Cummings earned second-team All-Atlantic Sun Conference for a second straight season, led the A-Sun with a single-season career-high 18.3 points in 31 games (30 starts) while also contributing 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 35.5 minutes per game. He had a streak of 20 straight double-digit scoring games, scored 20 or more points a school Division I-record 14 times, led the Owls in scoring 17 times and earned Player of the Week honors once after scoring a season-high 31 points on 9-of-19 shooting and dishing out a personal-best six assists against Campbell on February 7, 2011.
As a junior in 2011–12, Cummings earned second-team All-Atlantic Sun Conference for a third straight season after ranking second in the A-Sun in scoring with 15.4 points per game. After winning the A-Sun preseason player of the year and scoring 18 points in the season opener against Wisconsin, Cummings was suspended indefinitely by the school for "conduct detrimental to the team" and consequently missed the Owls' November 14 game against Auburn. However, Cummings returned from a one-game suspension on November 18 to score 21 points off the bench, leading Kennesaw State to a 65–59 victory over Chattanooga for Lewis Preston's first head coaching victory. He went on to record 25 double-digit scoring games while leading the Owls in scoring 12 times. On February 20, he tied a season-high 27 points against Jacksonville. In 30 games (29 starts), he also contributed 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.8 minutes per game.
As a senior in 2012–13, Cummings became Kennesaw State's all-time leading scorer with 2,048 points as he finished his career fourth on the A-Sun Conference's all-time points list and just the sixth player in conference history to reach the 2,000-point plateau. He passed former leader Herman Smith (1986–90, 1,683 points) on November 18 with 13 points against Towson. The previous night, he scored a season-high 31 points against Radford. On January 15, he earned his fourth career Player of the Week honor and ended his senior campaign averaging 16.5 points per game. In 27 games (20 starts), he also contributed 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists ad 1.0 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.
On May 16, 2013, Cummings graduated from Kennesaw State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Human Services.
In July 2013, Cummings signed with the GlobalPort Batang Pier as an import for the 2013 PBA Governors' Cup. In his PBA debut on August 14, he recorded 37 points and 11 rebounds to lead GlobalPort to a win over Air21 Express to open the Governors' Cup. He helped the team reach the quarter-finals where they lost to the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters on September 26. In 10 games for GlobalPort, he averaged 28.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
