Free agent guard Chasson Randle has received interest from the Hawks, Trail Blazers, Heat, Bucks, Warriors and Bulls, tweets Ben Stinar of Amico Hoops.
Randle, 26, became an unrestricted free agent in June when the Wizards opted not to tender a qualifying offer. He appeared in 49 games in his lone season in Washington, posting a 5.5/1.1/2.0 line in about 15 minutes per night and shooting 40% from 3-point range. Randle played a combined 26 games for the Sixers and Knicks during the 2016/17 season before spending 2017/18 in the EuroLeague with Real Madrid.
Unless someone offers him a fully guaranteed deal, Randle will likely face a process similar to how he earned a roster spot with the Wizards. He signed a training camp contract in September, but was waived before the season began. He had a strong showing during camp with Washington’s G League affiliate in Capital City and was signed for the rest of the season in late October.
Randle was waived again on November 12, but rejoined the Go-Go three days later and re-signed with the Wizards after Austin Rivers and Kelly Oubre were traded in mid-December.
Bucks do not have a spot for him. I wouldn’t even want him to be a two way over the two we have now. Maybe over cam Reynolds but not frank mason.
Chasson is a solid player. He is a team player. I have been following him since his junior year in high school at Rock Island,Illinois. He won state championship his senior year. He may not light up the scoreboard, but he will give you more than most players in the NBA.
If can pop 40% from 3…sign him up!
No. Just…no. Every year some bench scrub with “potential” gets overhyped and some dumb team overpays.
