Chris Carrawell (born November 25, 1977) is an American professional basketball player who was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2nd round (41st overall) of the 2000 NBA Draft. Carrawell is currently an assistant men's basketball coach under Steve Wojciechowski at Marquette University.
Born in a rough inner city neighborhood in north St. Louis and never getting to meet his father, Carrawell attended high school at Cardinal Ritter College Prep in St. Louis. Among his teammates were future NBA players Loren Woods and Jahidi White. In four years on the Cardinal Ritter varsity, he led the team to an overall 80-13 record, including a three-year undefeated streak at home. Carrawell was a USA today Top 40 All American going into his junior season, where he averaged 20.6 points per game as Cardinal Ritter won the state's Class AA championship. The following season, Cardinal Ritter defended its state title. Carrawell again led the team, averaging 17 points and 8 rebounds per game. Carrawell was named conference Player of the Year twice, earned Central Region honors as Gatorade Player of the Year, and was a fourth-team Parade All-American. He set school career records for points, rebounds, and assists. Cardinal Ritter made USA Today's list of the top 25 high school teams in the country twice during Carrawell's prep career.
Carrawell was recruited by Duke University's Mike Krzyzewski as the third most-prized piece of the impressive Class of 2000. He started 12 times out of the 31 games he appeared in during his freshman season (1996–97). He shot 57.6% from the field, averaging 5.5 points per game. He ranked third on the team in offensive rebounds with 47, and on a team that mainly featured perimeter shooting, led the team in slam dunks with 22. Some highlights as a Duke freshman in 1996-97 include Carrawell defending Wake Forest's center Tim Duncan in a matchup that took the Deacons by surprise and blocked a key Wake Forest shot down the stretch and led Duke to a rousing triumph.
