Markeith Terrell Cummings (born December 21, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Development League. 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 post-grad 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.
