Prince Williams – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Prince Williams
PG/SG – 6’5, 200lbs – Born 22nd August 1992
Iowa Wolves 
Williams has been in and out of the G-League in his three professional seasons, grinding through a first season with the Greensboro Swarm after making the team through the local tryout route, being acquired and waived by the Texas Legends four times last season, before eventually ending the year with the Wolves, who also designated him as a returning player for this season. Waived after only five …
Hakim Warrick – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Hakim Warrick
PF – 6’9, 219lbs – Born 8th July 1982
Iowa Wolves 
Warrick left the NBA six years ago, cut by the Magic at the 2013 trade deadline, and is now 36 years old. The G-League has in recent times served increasingly often as a place for multi -year NBA veterans to come and try their hand at getting back into the big dance, with some successes (Damien Wilkins and Emeka Okafor, for example), yet Warrick’s absence from the …
Xavier Silas – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Xavier Silas
SG – 6’5, 198lbs – Born 22nd January 1988
Iowa Wolves 
Silas was in the NBA last year, called up at the end of the season by a Boston Celtics team that ran out of ball handlers at one point. There was a time when that is what Silas was – over the course of his career, he has become more of a catch-and-shoot specialist, and, as can be seen from his 95th percentile shooting here this year, …
Jonathan Stark – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Jonathan Stark
PG – 6’0, 180lbs – Born 23rd May 1995
Iowa Wolves 
Jonathan Stark was the Ja Morant before Ja Morant. The two briefly play together at Murray State for one season, and whereas the over-exuberant, dynamic yet wild Morant (at that time) would be the spectacular if inconsistent playmaker, Stark would be the half-court scorer. It is thus good to see him get back into a full-time point guard mentality, just as he had been before his unison …
Evan Smotrycz – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Evan Smotrycz
PF – 6’7, 230lbs – Born 2nd August 1991
Iowa Wolves 
Back in the day, there was a stretch in which Michigan decided to run the offence through Smotrycz. What a time that was. Things were different in the Michigan programme back then, and they were also different for Smotrycz, who transferred out of the Wolverines program to avoid having to play the centre spot only to go to Maryland and find he had to do it there …
William Lee – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

William Lee
PF – 6’8, 210lbs – Born 10th January 1995
Iowa Wolves 
This was Lee’s first professional season out of UAB, and it began with a summer league stint with the Memphis Grizzlies. After not getting a training camp contract from them, he initially signed in Serbia with Dynamic Belgrade, yet left just before their season started, signed a one-day contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves and then was allocated to Iowa, where he spent the entire season. However, Lee …
Jaylen Johnson – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Jaylen Johnson
PF – 6’9, 230lbs – Born 7th August 1996
Iowa Wolves 
Declaring for the NBA Draft after his junior season at Louisville in 2017, Johnson is still young and therefore still a project. In what would have been his senior season, he received a 10-day call-up from the Chicago Bulls – albeit without playing any game time, instead being one of several players they called up without playing so as to get more money to their G-Leaguers – …
Marquise Moore – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Marquise Moore
PG/SG – 6’2, 208lbs – Born 22nd December 1994
Iowa Wolves 
I love four things in this world. Sausage sandwiches, the lead singer out of The Interrupters (call me, Aimee!), 6’7 point guards who can’t shoot, and extremely undersized guards who rebound like centres. Here, then, is Marquise Moore, and I won’t hear a word said against him.
As a senior at George Mason, Moore averaged 10.9 rebounds per game. He did this while playing at the point …
Darius Johnson-Odom – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Darius Johnson-Odom
SG – 6’1, 220lbs – Born 28th September 1989
Iowa Wolves 
Prior to his return this season, Johnson-Odom had been away from the G-League for four years. The vast majority of that time had been spent in Italy, where he had been amongst the country’s highest scorers, leading it outright last season with Vanoli Cremona. Johnson-Odom always has been and always will be a scorer, a prolific one by volume as well as efficiency. Of that, there has …
L.G. Gill – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

L.G. Gill
PF – 6’8, 210lbs – Born 24th December 1994
Iowa Wolves 
This season was Gill’s second in the G-League, one which began as a returning player with the Greensboro Swarm (whose roster he had made last season via the local tryout route) before immediately being traded to Iowa in exchange for the returning player rights to Terry Whisnant. Gill subsequently mostly came off the bench for the Wolves, filling in as a starter where required, and provided a …
Canyon Barry – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019

Canyon Barry
SG/SF – 6’6, 205lbs – Born 7th January 1994
Iowa Wolves 
The latest from the production line of Barrys is Canyon, the first in a generation to unashamedly shoot the underhand free throw. This was his first G-League season after spending his initial professional campaign split between Finland, the Czech Republic and China; the Timberwolves signed him for about 25 minutes so that they could allocate him to Iowa, hoping he could develop into an NBA-calibre shooter.
The …
