Randy Foye

Newark's East Side High produced a New Jersey Player of the Year who became Big East Player of the Year at Villanova in 2006, beating out Rudy Gay for the honor. Drafted seventh overall that June, Foye was traded twice before playing a game, landing in Minnesota, where he made the All-Rookie First Team and once grabbed 16 rebounds — a Timberwolves record for a guard.

Washington and the Clippers followed, including a 32-point night against Boston in 2011 and starts in all 11 of Los Angeles's playoff games in 2012 after Chauncey Billups went down. He then spent the 2012-13 season with the Jazz, the Utah stop in a career that crossed half the league.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah signed him as a free agent in July 2012 for one year at about $2.5 million and he set the franchise record with 178 three-pointers. In July 2013 the Jazz sign-and-traded him to Denver for a second-round pick.

RANDY FOYE · 5 NOTES
  • Was born with situs inversus — his heart and organs are mirror-imaged, a one-in-10,000 condition that made him a case study in sports medicine.
  • Lives in Rumson, New Jersey, in a house he bought from Bruce Springsteen.
  • Founded the Randy Foye Foundation in 2007 to support inner-city children in his native Newark.
  • The first game-winner of his career came in his eighth NBA season, a 30-footer at the buzzer to beat the Clippers.
  • He played all 82 games in his one Utah season, and Tyrone Corbin praised him as 'ready to go every night, and ready and willing to do whatever he can do to help us win'.
