He played college basketball for the California Golden Bears before playing professionally in several European countries. Randle has a Ukrainian passport and represented Ukraine at EuroBasket 2015.

While playing for the Golden Bears, Randle was a two-time first-team All-Pac-10 honoree and won the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 2010. He was named to the Pac-12 Hall of Honor in January 2017.

He was named to the All-NBL First Team in his first season and then went on to win a championship in Lithuania while earning LKL Finals MVP honors. In his second season with Adelaide, he was named the NBL's Most Valuable Player after helping the 36ers win the minor premiership. He spent the next two seasons with the Sydney Kings, before returning to Adelaide in 2019.

High school career

[edit]

Randle attended Hales Franciscan High School in Chicago, Illinois. In 2005, he won a pair of championships after guiding his high school team to a 27–4 record and the Illinois state title and helping his Chicago Ferrari team to the 17-and-under AAU national crown,[1] earning tournament MVP honors[1] after scoring 44 points in one tournament game.[2] He averaged 12.3 points and 5.2 assists per game as a junior[3] before increasing those averages to 25 points, 1.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals as senior in earning state Class A Player of the Year honors from the Chicago Sun-Times.[1]

After considering signing with Tulsa,[2] Randle committed to California in October 2005.[3]

College career

[edit]

Randle was a three-year starter at the University of California, Berkeley, earning first-team All-Pacific-10 Conference in both his junior and senior years with the California Golden Bears. He was also named Pac-10 Player of the Year as a senior, and was named a third-team All-American by Sporting News and received honorable mention from the Associated Press. He finished his career at Cal as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,835 career points. Randle also set school marks for three-pointers made with 252, and free throw accuracy at 88.1% for his career. In 2010, Randle led the program to its first conference title since 1960. Following his senior season, he was named a recipient of the Pacific-10 Tom Hansen Conference Medal,[4] and earned the Most Outstanding Player honor of the 2010 Reese's College All-Star Game.
