2017 NBA Manifesto
Chasson Randle
PG, 6’2, 185lbs, 24 years old, 1 year of experience
Randle won his way into the NBA in mid-season on contracts with multiple times by virtue of a 20 game D-League stint with the Westchester Knicks in which he scored 20 points per game on a .565% true shooting percentage. A ball handler and scorer, Randle can work off the ball, spot up pretty well, and make some timely cuts. He is not going to be a full-time NBA point guard, not much of a playmaker out of the pick-and-roll except for himself, and never having been much of a prober. So he will need to prove he can score and defend. With a long wingspan that belies his height, Randle could an NBA point guard defender if he can re-main committed to trying in a way he did not always do in college.
Player Plan: Has an unguaranteed minimum salary contract for next season, final year. The back-up point guard spot is open, as may be the starting point guard spot, but he will have to go some to earn it. Still, if he’s up against Baker, he could well win.
