Warriors’ Randolph looks long on talent


Recommended Posts

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – As Anthony Randolph(notes) tried to squeeze his long, lean frame into a booth at P.F. Chang’s this week, his fellow restaurant patrons gave him little more than a he-must-play-basketball glance. A week removed from his 20th birthday, Randolph can easily be mistaken for a local college player. One season with the Golden State Warriors has hardly made him a recognizable face, even in the Bay Area.

 

But if Randolph’s recent performance in the NBA’s summer league is any indication, the locals will know him well soon enough.

 

Randolph averaged a Vegas summer league record 26.8 points, along with 8.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.3 steals. In a game against the Chicago Bulls, he scored 42 points. Los Angeles Clippers rookie forward Blake Griffin(notes) was named the summer league’s Most Outstanding Player, but it was Randolph who had most league executives and scouts buzzing with his quick first step, fearless dunks, improved jump shot and all-around versatility.

 

“He’s the real deal,” gushed one Western Conference scout. “He reminds me of Lamar Odom(notes).”
