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

Bruh you on worse bath salts than Swag if you seriously think anybody on that list outside of Jokic and Embiid is clearly better than Randle. You should know that Swag regurgitates hot takes at such an exponential rate that a few of the players he sets his goofy gaze on will inevitably end up being actually good through sheer statistical probability alone :russ:

Saying you'd take a guy like Lavine obviously over Randle is like salty fools saying they'd obviously take Melo at this point of his career over "top 30" Draymond; it's just nonsense to try and win some stupid argument. We know you don't really believe that shyt, don't fall into Swag's game of trolling when 1 out of his 1000 predictions turns out to be somewhat sorta correct :mjlit:

"You're on worse bath salts than Swagnificent if you think LaVine is better than Randle" - in the words of @Inertia Creeps

How many times do I need to state - it doesn't matter what "numbers" he puts up if he's still the same player?

"This is a typical offensive outing for Randle: 1-2 buckets on post-ups that he throws at the rim with little-to-no touch, and the rest of his points come from rolling to the rim, putbacks, and running the break - capitalizing on defensive breakdowns. And yet muh'fukkas are in here talking about how he's the second-best player in the draft."

Regardless of how many numbers he puts up in the box score, he's still going to have the same limited skillset - his numbers will be predicated on how many minutes he gets, and how many opportunities he gets at cleaning up (garbage-man duties) and the secondary-looks he gets from his teammates once the initial looks for the likes of AD, Jrue, Payton, Mirotic etc aren't there. He could average 8/8 or 15/10, it makes no difference if he's still doing the same shyt, and that won't change unless he adds more strings to his bow: jumpshot, post/counter moves, better touch, self-creation from different spots etc.

Again, this is one of the many reasons why y'all are brainwashed by the box score, because you're allowing yourselves to be blinded, letting the #s guide you, and not looking at what's taking place on the floor.

I did NOT bring up the argument around his numbers, see, again, this is just reflective of you not being able to read the situation properly.

I'm not here to line up semantics over what constitutes being a garbage man; the point is this, he needs to be force-fed scoring opportunities because he doesn't have the skillset to create for himself on the regular:

- there's a reason why he tries to truck defenders in almost every 1v1 situation, rather than displaying any notable basketball skill
- there's a reason why he only shot 32 eFG% on jumpshots last season
- there's a reason why he was in the bottom third for all big men in scoring production on touches off passes in the halfcourt
- there's a reason why despite having a 'time of possession' equal to AD and LMA, he was still near the bottom in the league for big men in self-creation points
- there's a reason why he had the highest turnover rate out of all 4s, and yet didn't come close to balancing it out with offensive production; again, ranked poorly in self-creation points and only averaged 2.6 assists per game - yet had the third-highest turnover rate out of all big men - only behind Embiid and Cousins, both players who generate elite offensive production.

All that other nonsense you're talking is just generic, basketball-curvet to overcompensate for his lack of ability. It doesn't hold any value in this discussion.

@Sccit

When are you gonna address that this is/was 100% accurate, and your analysis of Julius' game was completely wrong?

:mjgrin:
