Chasson Randle

Randle was born on Feb. 5, 1993 in Rock Island, Illinois to parents Willie and Gwen. He has three sisters: Lakisha, Lamera and Khaliyah. He attended high school in his home town at Rock Island High School, where he is the all-time scoring leader. Randle helped lead the school to its first Illinois state title, and even shared Mr. Basketball honors in 2011. As a consensus four-star, top-100 recruit, Randle left offers on the table from Purdue and his home state of Illinois to head out west and attend Stanford. After college, he played overseas and in the D League before making his NBA debut in January of 2017. Randle was a staple of the Stanford basketball program four all four years he was in attendance. He started 142 games over his career there, locking down the starting shooting guard job his freshman season and never looking back. Randle was also named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team after his inaugural campaign with the Cardinal, which resulted in a NIT Tournament Championship. Randle posted similar numbers his sophomore year at Stanford, but took a big leap after transitioning to the point guard role in his junior year. He averaged 18.8 ppg and earned an all- Pac-12 first-team nod. Stanford also made the NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen that season as a 10-seed. By his senior year, Randle started receiving national attention. He was steadily on Wooden Award watchlists, in addition to earning first-team All-Pac-12 and first-team all-Pac-12 tournament honors. Stanford missed the NCAA Tournament that year, but won the NIT, where Randle was named the tournament's most valuable player.
