Matt Bradley is back at Cal basketball — not as a player, but as director of player development, bringing his All-Pac-12 shooting prowess, winning mindset, and fresh perspective as a former Bear turned mentor. Already a graduate assistant last season, Bradley’s promotion feels like a natural next step, blending his on-court experience with his off-court coaching chops. Coach Madsen raves about Bradley’s respect among players, basketball IQ, and leadership — all critical as Cal pushes toward its most successful season in years. With 22 wins and a postseason win since 2014, the Bears are poised for more, and Bradley’s return is seen as the key to unlocking their full potential.

Two undrafted Cal grads are fighting for NBA scraps in summer league: John Camden, who struggled through 10 minutes but hit a clutch three-pointer in the Wizards’ win, and Chris Bell, who flashed his shot in just three minutes for the Pelicans — already locked into preseason camp via Exhibit 10, but with a role that’s far from guaranteed. Both are banking on these games to turn heads — and maybe, just maybe, land a spot in the NBA’s next chapter.

Cal’s basketball team just got a shot in the arm with Dai Dai Ames, the explosive guard who lit up the court from day one. After stops at Kansas State and Virginia, Ames arrived in Berkeley and immediately became the scoring engine, averaging over 16 points per game with 12 games of 20+ points — including a career-high 31. He delivered clutch performances, including a game-winning four-point play against Notre Dame, and started every game while shooting lights out from the line. His impact helped turn Cal into its first winning team in a decade — and even earned a postseason berth. But his hunger isn’t satisfied yet — Ames is heading to Tennessee, chasing that elusive NCAA tournament dream.

Jamal Boykin, a Duke transfer who found his true calling at Cal, became a Pac-10 legend in his senior year, averaging nearly 12 points and 7 rebounds while leading the conference in shooting. A key cog in Cal’s historic 2009-10 championship run, he delivered clutch performances—including a career-high 25 points against Arizona State—and capped his career with a double-double in the NCAA tournament against his old team, Duke.
