Chane Xavier Behanan (/ʃeɪn bəˈhænən/ shane buh-HAN-en; born September 24, 1992) is an American basketball player for the Salt Lake City Stars of the NBA Development League. Behanan, who won an NCAA title at Louisville, was going to transfer to Colorado State to redshirt the 2014–15 season but instead declared for the 2014 NBA draft in which he subsequently went undrafted.
Behanan was born and mostly raised in Cincinnati, growing up in a troubled inner city neighborhood infested by the drug culture; one of his older brothers had been arrested on drug charges. He indicated in a 2012 interview that his time in that neighborhood drove him to succeed in basketball:
I just have to stay at it. In my family, I think I'm just the last person left that can make something happen. If it ain't me, it's nobody."
During his childhood, the family home was destroyed in a fire, and he, his mother, and four siblings moved in with one of his grandmothers. Behanan's mother eventually decided that inner-city Cincinnati was not a good place for him, and used family connections to send him to Bowling Green, Kentucky before his junior year of high school. In his senior season at Bowling Green High School, he averaged 23.3 points and 14.4 rebounds.
