Malik Pope PF - 6'10, 220lbs - Born 25th July 1996 Greensboro Swarm With his height, length, versatility, perimeter inclinations and very memorable name, Pope has been on the NBA radar since his San Diego State career began, if not before. He developed a bit in his years…
Luke Petrasek PF/C - 6'10, 215lbs - Born 17th August 1995 Greensboro Swarm The Hornets have had their eye on Petrasek since he left Columbia back in 2017. They signed him for training camp that first year, have now allocated him to Greensboro for two consecutive seasons, and…
Lenjo Kilo PF/C - 6'8, 240lbs - Born 31st August 1993 Delaware Blue Coats Kilo joined the G-League this year with quite the disparate CV behind him. He spent his first two college years at Division II Seton Hill (not Hall), then spent two more at the University…
Terrence Drisdom SG - 6'5, 185lbs - Born 30th July 1992 Delaware Blue Coats Having spent his first two professional seasons with the Santa Cruz Warriors, Drisdom then took a year away from the G-League to play in Japan second division with the Hiroshima Dragonflies, and then returned…
Rashad Vaughn SG/SF - 6'6, 210lbs - Born 16th August 1996 Delaware Blue Coats An NBA first-round pick only three short years ago, Vaughn fell out of the NBA by not hitting enough shots or playing enough defence. This is the era of the three-and-D non-star wing; invariably,…
Kyle Randall PG - 6'1, 185lbs - Born 10th September 1991 Delaware Blue Coats Having completed his third G-League season now, it has been established what type of player Randall is. What he is is a reserve ball-handling point guard. He is undersized and without great leap, length,…
Norvel Pelle C - 6'10, 231lbs - Born 3rd February 1993 Delaware Blue Coats Pelle played in the then-D-League in his first professional season, drafted sixth overall way back in 2013 by this same Delaware franchise, then known as the 87ers. He came back for the final four…
D.J. Hogg SF/PF - 6'9, 215lbs - Born 3rd September 1996 Delaware Blue Coats Hogg declared for the draft last summer as a junior hoping to take advantage of the contemporary love for stretch shooting forwards in the NBA today. He went undrafted, so joined the New Orleans…
Matt Farrell PG - 6'1, 175lbs - Born 15th March 1996 Delaware Blue Coats Passionate advocates of college basketball like to cite the supposed superior effort level and defensive intensity in their defences of why it is a better, purer product than the NBA. The reality that those…
Keenan Evans PG/SG - 6'3, 190lbs - Born 23rd August 1996 Delaware Blue Coats Fresh from being the lead guard on a Texas Tech team that made it all the way to the Elite Eight, Evans began his first professional season on the summer league roster of the…
A.J. Davis SF/PF - 6'9, 215lbs - Born 15th March 1995 Delaware Blue Coats A.J. Davis is Antonio Davis's son, but does not much play like him. Whereas Antonio was a bruising paint-based old school post-up type of player, A.J. is more about the perimeter game, the finesse,…
Michael Bryson SG - 6'4, 200lbs - Born 30th September 1994 Delaware Blue Coats Bryson is the rare type of guard who certainly does not mind going down into the post. He runs the court, he runs off some screens, and he takes quite a lot of spot-up…
Jared Brownridge SF - 6'3, 200lbs - Born 13th November 1994 Delaware Blue Coats David Logan was a high quality EuroLeague player for many seasons. He was a small scoring guard who could create for himself or just raise up and shoot, who shot well off the ball…
Jaylen Barford SG - 6'3, 202lbs - Born 23rd January 1996 Greensboro Swarm This was Barford’s first professional season, and as with so many G-Leaguers, it started with the summer league/training camp/allocation cycle, all via the Charlotte Hornets. What the Hornets will have seen in him at Arkansas…
Ryan Anderson PF - 6'9, 215lbs - Born 4th December 1992 Delaware Blue Coats Ryan Anderson is one of the best offensive rebounding specialists in the game. This was not the case when he began his career at Boston College, with a 6.7% offensive rebounding percentage as a…
