Naradain James

Professional Career

When he wasn’t averaging double digits in scoring and filling up the rest of the stat sheet every night at Cal State San Bernardino, Naradain James was studying kinesiology. That might come in handy analyzing movements on the way up and down the springy SlamBall courts this summer. Prior to averaging 11.4 PPG, 5.2 RPG and 2.1 APG for the Coyotes in 2018-19, James played at Garden City (Kan.) Community College and spent one season at Illinois-Chicago. A three-year letter-winner at Mansfield (Ohio) Senior High School, James competed in basketball and track with his creative style of play earning him the nickname “StayKrafty.” Those attributes should serve him well in a variety of roles for the Slashers. His first name is pronounced Nair-a-DIN.
