After a surprising rookie year, Shavlik
Randolph has signed a contract extension with the 76ers. Randolph
surprised almost everyone when he left Duke early for the NBA, and then
surprised everyone again by making it. Philly GM Billy King says they're
very happy with what he brought to the team and that he belongs: "He
gives us athletic ability at the four spot -- rebounding, high energy. It's good
to have him. Last year he wasn't sure, but now he knows he's a part of us."
