I think he'd be better off getting that rust off against high school competition and ramping up next summer with the team.
Jeremy played 22 games in the NikeEYBL with his squad Team Takeover winning the PeachJam(16U), and probably at least that many more with Team Takeover at other AAU events last spring/summer.
He played with his high school team, PaulVI, in June 2018(I don't know the number of games/scrimmages played in the highly competitive DC area in a typical June).
He played with USA 17U in the FIBA Championship in Argentina last summer, with 7 official games/competitive tryouts and practices.
Unless you don't consider the NikeEYBL/AAU/DC-area HS/USA basketball to be competitive, then Jeremy's last competitive basketball was months after the completion of his sophomore year in high school.
