SOHH OG Class 2004
Dwight wouldnt play in the regular season if he had a choice
Blake is an explosive leaper who is elite offensively and Love shoots the three, they both do something that makes up for the lack of length that is unique to their position. What does Randle do that will keep Nance from taking his spot? The Lakers have two young perimeter players that will be ball dominant so his touches will go down, and he's not as good a defender or shooter as Nance....
Also, Thomas Robinson is 6'9" with a 7'3" wingspan and a dominant rebounder, but that's really all he can do, much like Randle he's not a deep threat, he's not a good defender.

We'll see if he gets a consistent jumper

Thomas Robinson is 25 not 21.
Jumper or no jumper, where are the touches going to come from? The better Ingram gets the less Randle will see the ball. He's going to be the odd man out between Russell, Clarkson and Ingram, and Nance game fits better with those 3 than his.
Randle is 21, he'll be 22 in November, he's actually older than Giannis.

He'll have to adapt to the offense.
But much younger than Thomas, the guy you compared Randle to.
I didn't compare his game to Thomas, I'm telling you that being an elite rebounder while being a poor shooter/defender lowers your stock.
Yall keep acting like being a great rebounder is a unique skill, most of the best rebounders in the league are also elite defensively which he shows no signs of being. If Nance is better defensively while giving you 80% of his rebounding he will play over Randle.
Julius randle is talented, hes just not explosive enough
His face up game is impressive, but he cant shoot and he plays below the rim
Hes very young so im hoping he can fiz the shot

We shall see. Right now it looks like Nance is the better fit in the starting lineup. I'm just not ready to close the book on a 21 year old who just finished his rookie year.
Nance is the obvious fit, hustle garbage man that might be able to shoot the three, doesn't need the ball and will defend multiple positions.
The issue for Randle will be defense, you compared him to one ok defender (Blake) and one really poor defender (Love).

Hopefully improves in that department. He has the lateral quickness to be solid to good man defender. It's up to him if wants to be that.

So the Lakers didn't need Nance?

D'Tective and Ingram are off limits. Come in free agency or not.You saying no to Randle & Russell for Westbrook?
