Craig Randall II hadn’t played in actual basketball games in almost two years. And then, just a few days ago, he was named the G League Player of the Week, while averaging 35.3 points per game.
Randall’s story is unique, to say the least, and it started at the University of Memphis. The 6-foot-4 guard spent his first two years in Memphis but started in only four games, so he transferred to Tennessee-Martin by his junior year. After graduating in 2020, he decided to go pro but went undrafted. With the COVID-19 pandemic at full roar, his options were limited.
Despite wanting to play, he passed on overseas options and remained in the States waiting for the perfect opportunity while working out in the gym with his brother.
