MATLAB: How to create a point cloud for a sphere

point cloudspheretriangulate

I'm trying to create a point cloud for a sphere, that I will later triangulate to get the surface. I have seen this done for unit spheres but not for ones that have an offset center-point and a designated radius.
The sphere has a radius of r=2
The center-point of the sphere at [0,0,7]
