I don't think we've seen 5% of what Julius Randle is capable of

THEY'RE NOTING ALIKE! RANDLE IS FAR MORE SUPERIOR ATHLETICALLY THAN Z-BO/JAMES WORTHY/ODOM COMBINE. I CAN SEE Z-BO, BUT I SEE RANDLE CEILING HIGHER THAN Z-BO.
saying they're nothing alike is silly. YES THEY ARE. now are they alike in a lot of ways? NO.

These guys have to be compared to someone.
Two lefty thick dudes that have post game and a faceup game which can take you off the dribble. thats zbo and randle.

now we know randle is much quicker and has a much better handle then zbo. we know that zbo is probably stronger than randle on the block.

we know that randle is much more athletic than zbo.

but with all that said. Randle still looks more like zbo then he did blake griffin. since blakes game started out as 85% athletic ability and faceup game. now its morphed into some strength on the block mixed in with a ton of faceup game, dribbling, dishing from the perimeter like a guard.

randle is a hybrid of many guys. he's a left like zbo but has handles . so thats more like LO(who was named in the comparison). but he aint LO either. LO was tall and lean. and LO's body was not made for that kind of constant contact that Randle seeks out when going to the rack. short arms and all. randle likes to ram into people's chest then shoot his little flip shots.

You analytics clowns never learn ya lesson do you?

I told y'all Anthony Davis was not that good. Yet you tried to convince folks he was an all-time great last year..
Randle will be a SUPERSTAR and easily the 2nd best player in the 2014 class after Wiggins. Lakers struck a gold mine with 7th pick last year.
:wow:

im takin Embiid, Jokic then Randle

bruh was close :manny:
:dahell:

In no particular order:

Embiid
Wiggins
Jabari
Jokic
Gordon
LaVine
Capela
Warren
Nurkic
Bogdanovic
Smart (yes, simply because he's the best, most impactful defensive guard in the league)
Saric

I'm taking all those players before I even think about taking Randle. And how the hell are you gonna say he was "close" like he didn't just say Randle was going to become a "superstar" in that very post?

Close to being a 20/10 player. We’ll see how he looks with AD
What does this even mean? A ton of big men could average this if they went out there and were selfish enough. How does him averaging 20/10 put his team in a winning position when he's more or less just a garbage man/role player? Why would the Pelicans want him getting touches that would result in him averaging 20+ points? I wish y'all would stop just throwing this arbitrary box score measures up as if they mean something.

Jokic is trash bro. Don't let those Kevin Love-style empty stats fool you.

His fat ass ain't no good.
How the hell are you gonna shyt on Jokic for "empty stats", when Randle is the epitome of an empty stat-player? Jokic co-runs an offense and is a legit scoring option for his team, while Randle is a garbage man who capitalizes on loose balls/rebounds, fast-break opportunities, and stumbles and fumbles his way to the odd basket.
Randle is the 2nd best player from the 2014 draft. He's just behind Embiid rather than bytch ass Andrew Wiggins.

Look for Randle to put up big numbers this year.

Just behind Embiid? Just? Why the hell are you speaking as if he's even comparable to Embiid?

He's not close to even being in the argument for 2nd best player from his draft. What #s do you envisage he'll average this year? Unless he's had a skillset-transplant, he's going to the same garbage man work he did while on the Lakers, not to mention, AD (you know that player you said ain't that good?) will get the majority of frontcourt touches, and Randle will have to split minutes with Mirotic since he gives them more versatility due to his shooting ability. Not to mention, AD/Okafor will likely see time on the court together as well.

He's not going to get the minutes to put up "big numbers", even if he was capable of doing so (which he's not).
DUMBASS @Gil Scott-Heroin HAD THE NERVE TO SHIIT ON THIS TAKE WHEN RANDLE WAS ARGUABLY THE BEST PLAYER FOR US LAST YEAR

HONESTLY, IT SUCKED LOSING RANDLE.. HES EXTREMELY UNDERRATED AND GUNA BE HUGE FOR NO.
I'm a dumbass for not believing Randle is a superstar?

:heh:
