Anthony Randolph, the Golden State Warriors' 20-year-old forward, has been invited to compete in USA Basketball's minicamp next week in Las Vegas, according to league sources.

Randolph is one of more than two dozen young players who have been asked to participate in the camp, which is used to identify possible candidates for Team USA's 2010 world championship team.

Randolph, who averaged 7.9 points as a rookie last season, is currently in Las Vegas dominating summer league action. He's averaging a league-high 26.8 points and on Tuesday, he tied a Vegas summer league record by scoring 42.

Free agents David Lee of New York and Glen Davis of Boston were among those asked to participate, but they will pull out of the competition since they have yet to sign contracts.

The U.S. team will practice July 23-24 and play an intersquad scrimmage on July 25.

So much for Anthony Randolph's record of 42 Summer League points. With the Warriors forward sitting out Golden State's final Summer League game, the other Anthony -- stepped in and topped his teammate's 48-hour old record with 47 points. Anthony Morrow shot 18-for-26 from the field, including 7-for-9 from beyond the arc.

Morrow put on a shooting clinic in Cox Pavilion, draining his first seven shots in the first quarter. The Hornets' Marcus Thornton was assigned to Morrow and, believe it or not, did a decent job as a lock-and-trail man, chasing his man around screens, and contested almost every shot.

Didn't matter. Morrow's quick release and unconsciousness rendered poor Thornton irrelevant.

I then did the unthinkable as the first quarter expired: I stepped across the way to watch the Spurs and Thunder.

Holly MacKenzie of SLAM and The Score hung around and offered a report. With 4:31 left in the fourth quarter of a blowout, Morrow tied the record with a 3-pointer. From that point on, his teammates looked for him on every possession. With the crowd swelling with anticipation, Morrow got oooh and ahhs every time he touched the ball. He drained a jumper with 2:16 left, breaking the record to a huge cheer. Morrow then brought the house down at the 1:16 mark with his seventh 3-pointer of the game.

When Morrow checked out of the game with 37 seconds remaining, he got a standing ovation from the Cox Pavilion crowd.

After the game, Holly took in the scene:

At the conclusion of the Warriors/Hornets game, a crowd of kids gathers to try and get an autograph from Morrow. Morrow finishes with media and throws his jersey into the throng of kids, only to have them lunge at it and break the security barricade fighting for it. A younger fan desperately clutches the jersey while another fan struggles to rip it away from him.

While this scene is unfolding, I am interviewing Steph Curry and the two of us stop to watch what's going on. We are both a little unsure of what to do to comfort the boy who is about to cry. Curry then stops the interview, goes over and gives the boy who lost out on the jersey his game-worn shoe.

Curry's a G, maybe he should of gave the kid both his shoes tho.
