RALEIGH -- His story is one of perseverance, of getting knocked down and getting back up, of clinging to and fulfilling a lifelong dream. Former Broughton High School star and former Duke forward Shavlik Randolph stopped by News 14 Carolina to chat with sports anchor Jim Connors.
Randolph's career at Duke didn't turn out quite how he had hoped. He went undrafted in the NBA draft but signed with the Philadelphia 76ers and was a bright spot on a team that did not always have a whole lot of bright spots.
Randolph talked about his injured foot, his summer basketball camp and what the future holds for him and the Philadelphia 76ers.
As you guys already know I'm extremely high on Shavlik, so I'm happy to hear that he's recovered from this injury and is looking to play this season. He's probably the best find Billy King has had since being GM.

With the ankle injury he lost a lot of the speed and athleticism he had in the past. It's a shame. He got some tick late in the season and he was *** out there.
