Randle still a work in progress but he has the tools to be a really good player. we've seen him put it together a number of games throughout the season just needs to stay focused and consistent. but, Im not even tryna defend Randle here. Im questioning why a Noel/Embiid frontcourt would work, but Randle/Zubac wont. seems like a contradiction.
It could work if Randle got a consistent jumper. Embiid can play from the perimeter and him and Noel are both good defenders. Julius is a pretty shytty defender. Zubac I haven't seen enough to say he's a good/elite rim protector. He's kinda slow and heavy footed to rush over and contest players driving to the rim. I wish he had Mozgov's speed since that oaf doesn't use it for any good.
nah you specifically said his length would make it hard for him to finish. you called him t-rex.
yea Embiid is a better shooter, but the fact remains, you said Noel and Embiid could work but Randle/Zubac cant despite Randle being a more offensively capable player. You used the hypothetical of Randle's man doubling Zubac cause Randle cant shoot. well then wtf happens when Noel's guy is doubling Embiid? Noel cant shoot nor does he have Randle's ball skills to slash. you shot yourself in the foot. using your own logic, Noel and Embiid would be a worse offensive pairing yet you advocate for it. wonder why?
and that Jazz game was the most recent game, he destroyed that frontcourt with finesse and power.
Noel cant shoot or create off the dribble yet his man doubling Embiid wouldnt be an issue, but Randle's would? @Malta doesnt add up.
interior defender, so you think pairing him with a young center that isn't a good defender is a good idea? 
I'm done with anything Randle.
Nerlens has been hitting the jumper this year, what are you talking about? Do you mean the three or he can't shoot at all, cause he's been shooting better than Randle.
Randle is a
If yall get the 3rd pick I'd bet that yall will be looking at Lauri Markkanen this summer
I low-key wouldn't even be mad at that.. and I think I like Randle more than the average Lakers fan
your comparrison was about offense. you specifically mentioned the hypothetical of Randle's man doubling Zubac inferring Randle would then be useless and would mess up spacing. yet a less talented offensive player would somehow work in a similar situation. this isnt even an argument, this is your logic. and it doesnt add up.
You say this like Randle's shooting percentage hasn't dropped every month of the season, he's strictly an inside player that averages 13ppg on 48%, where is his ceiling?
Why are you trying to use the Young Gawd and his disciple to prove a point? Especially since you haven't been keeping up with Noel too. Case in point, Nerlens is shooting 47% on his jumpers this year and looks to have improved his shot, as seen by the fact he's hitting 71% at the line. On the flipside, Julius shoots 35% on jumpers, and Zubac is not an inside/outside player like Embiid, he is strictly an interior big who will need a spacer next to him to really flourish. Do I even need to bring up the fact that Nerlens finishes with authority? Seeing as how has as many dunks in 21 games as Randle does in 44
You can't draw any comparisons between and Embiid/Noel frontcourt and a Zubac/Randle one, especially when Nerlens is elite defensivel and Randle is garbage.
And Embiid isn't always in the paint, so the Zubac comparison makes even less sense.
I know... especially with the 3rd pick. But it's not like Randle or even Nance is that good defensively (which is Lauri's weakness) and he's already looking more skilled offensively
no way in hell would our FO take a player like him at 3. we already have plenty of shooting with Ingram, Russell, Young, Clarkson, and Lou in lineups. I could see us drafting Josh Jackson, Issac, or Ball. theyre gonna swing for the fences if we luck up and keep the pickNerlens has been hitting the jumper this year, what are you talking about?
