2019 NBA Summer League

admin

As the Wolves prepare for 2019 Summer League, let’s get to know the players who will be on the roster in Vegas.

That seems like a cool place to say you’re from. 

If you stopped reading after that, I understand.

Before we move on, let’s get to know YONKERS! a bit more.

Back to the main man Randolph. Randolph played high school ball for Westtown School in Pennsylvania. He was a top-five recruit in the state as a senior. He was an ESPN top-40 recruit before committing to Arizona.

As a sophomore at Arizona, Randolph averaged 12.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 38.4 percent from the field and 29.5 percent from the 3-point line. 

If you happened to be watching Sports Center in the fall of 2017, you might have seen Randolph appear on the Top 10 Plays for this slam he threw down in the program’s annual Red-Blue Game dunk contest.

Randoph had a pretty solid start to the 2018-19 season, averaging 16.3 points per game in the first 17 games of the season. He hit double digits in all of those games. 

Randolph is an athletic guard, but it’s going to be a tough battle for him. Summer League practices will be a good start, and we’ll see if he can get some minutes on the team when the games begin. Randolph needs to show he’s a better shooter than his numbers indicated at Arizona.

Canyon Barry. An incredible name to begin with and also, he’s the son of NBA legend Rick Barry! The more you know.

Barry, 25, was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Barry played college ball at the College of Charleston and then the University of Florida as a graduate transfer. He majored in physics at the College of Charleston and studied nuclear engineering at Florida.

Here are three things you might not know about Fort Wayne:

Where to begin? This man is a legend. The main reason you’ve probably heard of him is because he shoots his free throws underhand, just like his dad. He knocks them down, too. He was a career 80.8 percent free-throw shooter in college and he even raised that percentage with the Iowa Wolves last year. He is also a member of the gold medal-winning USA 3x3 World Cup Team with Robbie Hummel.

Shooter. He hit 40.7 percent from three over the course of the G-League season last year. He has an extremely clean release and looks like he could be a knock-down floor spacer at the next level. He doesn’t have great shot-creation skills and he’s not a crazy athlete which is probably why he went undrafted in 2017. However, he does have good size at 6’6.

Barry is one of those players whose path to a regular-season roster spot is predicated on opportunity. He’s a good enough shooter to make a team but he needs to keep developing his other skills to stick in the league. Barry will be a joy to watch at Summer League, though, and he’s certain to provide some highlight three-pointers… and your best chance to see someone crush some underhand free throws.
