Lenjo Kilo – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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 of the District of Columbia (also Division II), then moving to Savannah State as a senior. He averaged 9.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game there, and thus far on …

June 20th, 2019
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 to the Memphis Hustle to begin this season (his rights having been selected by them in the 2017 Expansion Draft). However, he appeared in only five games and 44 minutes, scoring two …
Rashad Vaughn – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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, teams want their role players to do both of those things. Vaughn, however, did neither consistently.
A bounce-back season was thus required. One in which he had some consistent employment and opportunity …
Kyle Randall – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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, strength or athleticism – he likes to probe the lane in pick-and-roll situations, but will only really get to the basket if able to drive on a big man that switched onto …

June 20th, 2019
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 games of the following season as well after a stint in Taiwan, but has been abroad since then in both the Lebanon and Italy. His return to the NBA and the G-League …
D.J. Hogg – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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 Pelicans for summer league, signed with the Philadelphia 76ers for two days towards the end of NBA preseason (as did Matt Farrell from the previous page; it was done purely to be …
Matt Farrell – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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 advocates struggle to acknowledge (or deliberately ignore) is that college basketball players do not try harder; they just are not as good or as athletic, and therefore they make it look harder. …
Keenan Evans – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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 Golden State Warriors, and was quickly picked up in mid-July by the Detroit Pistons on a two-way contract. However, Detroit saw fit to end it in January, and upon his return to …
A.J. Davis – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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, the handle and the shooting. He did at least inherit his father’s height, and that combined with the way he plays the game makes for an intriguing combination. After one year at …
Michael Bryson – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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 shots. Yet he also will happily go down low, despite not having the biggest size for the shooting guard position let alone any other spot, and loves to turn to a righty …
Jared Brownridge – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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 and someone you could turn to to get a bucket if required. Brownridge is not at that level of play in his career, yet, but he does rather emulate the style, and …
Ryan Anderson – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
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 freshman. Yet that number skyrocketed up to 16.9% this year with the Blue Coats, and the resulting put-backs made up the majority of his otherwise limited offensive game.
Productive if unathletic, Anderson …
