Keith Langford has earned an invitation to San Antonio Spurs training camp.

The 24-year-old former Kansas University shooting guard, who was a double-digit scorer in Italy’s pro league last season, averaged 9.0 points and 2.8 rebounds for the Spurs at last summer’s Rocky Mountain Review in Utah.

He hit 15 of 31 shots (48.4 percent), one of three three-pointers and 14 of 24 free throws (58.3 percent) after playing sparingly for the Spurs in the Las Vegas summer league.

“They (Spurs officials) have one roster spot open. They said he has a good chance the way he’s been playing the past month against veteran players at the Spurs’ training facility,” said Michael Whitaker, Langford’s representative who is based in Washington, D.C.

“He didn’t get a lot of time in Vegas, but in Utah they gave him extended playing time, and he made the most of it. He was the team’s second-leading scorer. He’s looking forward to going to training camp next week, playing well in their eight exhibition games and hopefully making the team.”

Langford, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, reportedly signed a one-year contract, and the team has an option for a second year. The contract is contingent on Langford’s making the club.

“Keith turned down numerous six-figure deals in Europe,” Whitaker said of the Jayhawks’ sixth-leading scorer. “He didn’t have anything concrete (as far as NBA camp invitations). He was going by faith. Denver fell through; Atlanta fell through. Even though he was working out with the Spurs the last four weeks, they didn’t give any indication until last week. They wanted to know if he could keep up the consistency against Spurs’ veteran players and other NBA players. He was consistent, and they invited him to camp.”

Asked about playing for the NBA champion Spurs, Langford this summer said: “It’s a dream come true to play in the NBA, regardless, but to come into a situation like that where you’re winning would be great. All you can do is control what you can, and do what they (coaches) say to do.”

Langford has options if he doesn’t make the team.

“If he doesn’t do well enough, he’ll have to decide whether to go back to Europe or the D-league,” Whitaker said of the NBA Developmental League. “He’s focused on making the team right now.”
