COLUMBIA (AP) -- Former South Carolina guard Devan Downey has been named to the Sacramento Kings team in the NBA summer league.

The 2010 all-Southeastern Conference star will join the team in Las Vegas from July 9-18.

Downey finished last season as the SEC's top scorer at 22.5 points a game. He left as the school's career leader in steals and in field goals attempted. He scored 30 points or more five times in the SEC last season, including 30 in the Gamecocks upset of then top-ranked and undefeated Kentucky last January.

Joining Downey on the Kings team is Kentucky forward DeMarcus Cousins, picked No. 5 overall in last month's NBA draft.

Kings assistant coach Mario Elie will coach Sacramento's team in the summer league.
