Brandon Randolph, Emmanuel Akot to fill in for the injured Rawle Alkins

Back in August, I compared Brandon Randolph’s all-around game to that of Rawle Alkins.

Now, the 6-foot-5 freshman will be one of two Arizona Wildcats Sean Miller will be asking to replace Alkins, while the latter is sidelined eight to 12 weeks with a broken foot.

In two games during Arizona’s exhibition tour in Spain, Randolph averaged 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, while shooting 12-25 from the field and 5-11 from 3.

The former four-star recruit showed the ability to shoot, rebound, defend, and distribute along with dazzling athleticism (he almost killed a guy on a dunk attempt).
