Chasson Randle will be one of the many players competing for the starting point guard role with the New York Knicks. Who should he be studying?

The New York Knicks have taken a chance on a promising young talent who’s in need of direction: Chasson Randle. The tools are in place for Randle to become a high-quality contributor, but he hasn’t yet carved out a consistent role with the Knicks.

Projected to make the 15-man roster for the 2017-18 NBA regular season, however, it appears as though the opportunity will present itself in the near future.

Randle has an intriguing physical profile at just under 6’2″ and 179 pounds with a 6’7″ wingspan and a near 40″ max vertical leap. Between his prototypical length for an NBA point guard and his plus athleticism, the former Stanford Cardinal star is a compelling young prospect.

Randle is also an excellent three-point shooter, a promising defender, and a capable facilitator who can create for his teammates with some measure of consistency.

Randle played most of the 2017-18 season with the G League affiliate in Westchester, but he appeared in 26 games on the main roster, as well. The 24-year-old became a fan favorite during that time, due in large part to his flashes of potential.

The question is: Which NBA players should Chasson Randle be studying as he attempts to live up to his potential with the New York Knicks?
