Randle is hitting threes now . Warriors won without a shooting big (Durant doesn't count). Rockets don't have a shooting big.You can't play TWO big men who can't shoot in today's league (nevermind the fact they're both volatile defenders), especially on the same team with LeBron. Randle had the highest turnover rate out of all 4s last season, handled the ball just as much as Anthony Davis, and yet was still one of the worst big men in self-creation points - I don't think you realize how mind-bogglingly bad that is.
I don't care about Randle's production particularly. I'm saying as far as a small 5 goes he would be perfect what the Lakers are trying to make Ingram and Kuz do and thus be a value to the team for that reason.
