Brandon Randolph (#57, 247Sports)

6-6, 183 – Shooting Guard
Yonkers, NY
Westtown School

CONSIDERING: Kansas, Georgetown, Louisville, North Carolina, Syracuse and more.

Brandon Randolph has great height and length at the shooting guard position. He can put the ball on the floor and plays well in transition, a facet of his game that Roy Williams is likely attracted to. Although thin and wiry, Randolph can drive the lane and finish in traffic and above the rim.

His leaping ability, especially on fast breaks and in transition, will be entertaining to watch at the college level. He would fit well in the UNC system and be a nice addition to 2017’s back court that will feature Jalek Felton.
