Early life
Anthony Erwin Randolph, Jr. was born to Anthony and Crystal Randolph in Würzburg, West Germany, where both of his parents served in the US military. Randolph spent the first year of his life in Germany, before his family moved to Pasadena, California, where he spent the majority of his childhood. Randolph attended schools in Pasadena, as well as North Little Rock High School, in North Little Rock, Arkansas, before heading to Woodrow Wilson High School, in Dallas, Texas, for his junior year.
Randolph's mother decided the school he was attending in Arkansas, was not right for him because of the differences he had with the team's head coach and in school. At the time, he was a virtually unknown player. Pat Washington, Randolph's high school head coach, stated that while Randolph was athletically gifted, he needed a lot of work on skills, such as ball handling, shooting, etc. Washington also spoke of a technique the team had in workouts called the "LAB", where the basic rules were that all players in play were required to never stop running, under any circumstances, and if the ball was turned over at any point, the player was to run back on defense immediately. The technique might have contributed to Randolph's later defensive prowess, as he has been known to hustle back after turnovers, for defensive stops, in his professional career.
In high school, Randolph played all five positions on the floor. During his senior season, Randolph's team did not qualify for a playoff position, which coach Washington attributed to bad chemistry. Washington called the team very talented, and referred to Randolph as the best player on the roster, but stated that, "as time went by, jealousy and agendas set in and took over." Randolph averaged 25.8 points and 12.6 rebounds per game, as a senior. Although Randolph was named to the first team All-Area The Dallas Morning News boys basketball team, played in the Reebok Round Ball Classic, in Chicago, and the Adidas Derby Festival Classic in Kentucky (leading all scorers in both games), he was not chosen to play in the McDonald's All-American Game his senior year. Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Randolph was listed as the No. 4 small forward and the No. 12 player in the nation in 2007.
Personal life
Randolph has a younger sister, Ashley, as well as a younger brother, Robert. Randolph has said that he enjoys fishing and is a fan of the Dallas Cowboys.
College career
Glen "Big Baby" Davis had just graduated from Louisiana State University's (LSU) basketball team, as well as seven-foot center Magnum Rolle, who transferred to Louisiana Tech, leaving the team with just two majors, one of whom was a junior college transfer. Because of this information, LSU told Randolph that if he joined their team, he could potentially play right away as a freshman. Baylor, Georgetown, Kansas, Memphis, Memphis, and Texas, according to Washington, were all interested in recruiting Randolph. Despite Randolph's early appointment into the recruitment process, he wanted to attend a college where he could play many minutes, but he didn't have to do at Memphis because the team's roster was so crowded at the time. Randolph made an impact in college right away, with six blocks in just his third game during his freshman season. Randolph received Honorable Mention All-SEC and First Team All-Freshman Team awards during his lone season at LSU. Randolph was the only LSU Tiger to start all thirty-one games in his freshman season, winning 15.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.13 steals, and 2.26 blocks per game. Despite the fact that Randolph only had a 13-18 record, the team did well in the last nine games of the year, with averaging 20.1 points. Randolph's twelfth in scoring and blocked shots, as well as nine double-doubles in his rookie season, and ranked third in the Southeastern Conference in rebounding and blocked shots.
Professional career
Randolph, knowing there was a good chance he'd be selected in the first round, proclaimed himself eligible for the 2008 NBA draft at the end of his freshman year at LSU. Some expected Randolph to rise in the year's draft due to his versatility and potential, while his opponents feared he would fall due to his thin frame and raw overall game. In either case, many believed Randolph to be the draft robber with his talent and a massive potential.
Randolph was the seventh overall pick in the Golden State Warriors' draft, with the fourteenth overall pick selected. Despite finishing the year with a 48-34 win-loss record, the Warriors were coming off a disappointing 2007-08 season in which the team was unable to qualify for the playoffs. Randolph saw minimal playing time in his rookie season, prompting some to question his attitude and work ethic, or if a potential rift between him and head coach Don Nelson could be emerging. During Randolph's rookie season, several of the Warriors' main rotation players sustained injuries, and the team ended the season with only a 29-53 record. Nonetheless, the Warriors did play a decent second half of the season, with Randolph, who averaged 13.5 points, 10.5 blocks, 1.6 blocks, and 1.4 steals in the last twelve games of the year.
Randolph began feeling better after playing in a Dallas Mavericks-San Antonio Spurs playoff game during the Warriors' offseason, and preparing for the following season was a challenge. Randolph's efforts began to honor him in this year's Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he not only began to dominate consistently but was also praised by several sportswriters as the best player in the entire Summer League. Randolph, who was also a member of the Chicago Bulls' Summer League team, was invited to the USA Basketball Men's National Team mini-camp after his stellar Summer League debut.
