Ronald Shavlik Randolph (born November 24, 1983) is an American former professional basketball player.

He played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils after a decorated high school career.

In addition to playing in the NBA, Randolph has played in China and Puerto Rico, averaging a league-high 32.0 points per game during the 2012–13 CBA season and was ranked in the top-five for rebounds per game in both his seasons in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional.

[4] Randolph started his college career with Duke by scoring a team-high 23 points and adding 7 rebounds in his November 23, 2002, debut against Army.

[7] In May 2003, Randolph had successful surgery on his left hip to correct a labral tear and bone spur.

[8] Randolph also played well in the national semi-final game against UConn, scoring 13 points on 6-for-6 shooting with six rebounds and one blocked shot.

He sat out four games during the season after being diagnosed with mononucleosis, and slowly worked his way back into the rotation.

He eventually returned to his starting role, giving the Blue Devils another inside presence to go with center Shelden Williams.

Portland had to use an NBA hardship exemption in order to sign him as he made their roster stand at 16, one over the allowed limited of 15.

[26] In early July 2010, he joined the Heat for the 2010 NBA Summer League where he averaged 13.0 points and 5.8 rebounds in four games.

[43][44] However, just six games into the season, he was ruled out for 4–5 weeks with a left shoulder injury and was replaced in the line-up by Dexter Pittman on December 3, 2013.

[46][47] He made his debut off the bench a day later against the Atlanta Hawks, recording 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal in the 129–120 win.

[49] On January 15, 2015, Randolph was acquired by the Boston Celtics in a three-team trade also involving the Los Angeles Clippers.

[54][55] Randolph is a co-founder of North Carolina–based Big Prime Hauling, which was acquired by Bright Hope Capital in August 2020.

He is also credited, along with several other NBA players, as an early investor in Fotmer Life Sciences, LLC., founded in South America in 2016.

His grandfather, Ronnie Shavlik, was an All-American basketball player at N.C. State and a first-round draft pick of the New York Knicks in 1956.
