Remember when the Coli thought Jabari Parker > Julius Randle?

[CantStop]

my brother @CantStop need to stick to bean threads

Like I said, why don't you and @Gil Scott-Heroin bump up this thread when Jabari actually plays well.

I'll wait for that.

 

[Rakim Allah]

So we just flat out lying now? That's how we roll breh? Act like I never said you needed a shotblocker next to him, and always said he would never work next to Julius, you was too busy coming up with names ya mans could never live up to like Barkelendolph.


When he was pegged for the Lakers yall kept saying he'd be a cot damn DPOY candidate, and I said he could be decent to average at best which is exactly what I said in here

How am I lying?? If he was a Laker you would not be defending him. You would ignore his successes and go in on his failures like you do every Laker. You are pretty consistent when it comes to Laker players.

I didn't come up with that glorious name by the way. He's lived up to Barklonedolph...only on the boards.

Don't play this shyt. You're the one who made the proclamation by making this thread - so far he hasn't proven to be better than Jabari. This is what happens when you don't watch games. You even had the nerve to call out dudes and say "come here and admit you were wrong."

Julius is outplaying Jaboari in every facet of the game. Let's discuss


Julius: 11.6/9.5/1.6/0.8/0.4

Jabari: 10.6/4.1()/1.2/0.6/0.4


Julius Randle is 14th in double doubles with 13 and out of the top 14, he's the only one that plays less than 30 minutes. He plays 26.

Jabari Parker has 0 double doubles.

Jabari Parker has 0 3 pointers made this season. Yes, you read that correctly.

Julius Randle has 5 3 pt made and 4 in the last 5 games.



Come here and admit you were wrong.

Yous a lie cause I've been consistent with Okafor and how he would struggle on defense, how he would need to be next to a shotblocker and how he could turn into a decent defender. You was on some other shyt and acting like he and Randle would be a great defensive frontcourt. Stop calling every Laker player the next coming and people wouldn't be so critical of them, there was a Larry Nance thread where someone was trying to say he was better & more skilled than Portis

Ulius Anle is a gag reel going right. Stop it.

And Vonleh isn't even straight trash... dude is probably dumb as fukk- but physically he's got every tool you'd want your PF/C rookie to have. Randle was drafted over by LA over Vonleh because the whole idea was that yal didn't want a project. In reality, Randle is the bigger project by far because he's got MASSIVE hurdles to overcome if he even wants to play consistent defense at his position. Let alone become as useful as Udonis Haslem on O.

Larry Nance is the better overall player right now, and probably into the future.

He's a fukking NBA player "he's just not comfortable" ??? he's just not GOOD with his right hand at all. Dude had a year around NBA trainers and staff and he dribbles like that football player trying to hoop at the Y

talking about summer league Summer League don't mean shyt.

The Lakers didnt pick Randle over Noah because "they didn't want a project" it's because Randle was the BPA and the Lakers have been proven right. Stop talking out your ass

And Summer League does mean something in regards to what I'm referring to. Which would be the fact that I saw him using his right hand in Summer League. Which would indicate that he's not completely inept with his right hand like some geniuses in here are claiming

For his entire life he's been the biggest and strongest player on the floor and he's been able to rely on that whether he used his right hand or not and whether or not he improved his jumper or not. But now that he's not the offset and strongest anymore, we'll see how he develops his skill set to adapt to that. And stop talking like he had the year off to eat Bon bons and work on his game part time. He was recovering from a broken fukkin leg

But you would not be defending Okafor if was a Laker. You wouldn't waste your time. If that's because of Laker fans, then cool.

I don't remember saying they would be a great defensive front court. I had hope that maybe they could be solid if not good if Okafor improved on the defensive end. He didn't have great height but he had the reach/wing span to be a solid defender. If Marc Gasol could improve to be DPOY, why couldn't Okafor improve to be a solid defender. Chances are you were probably going to be right, but damn can't a n!gg@ have hope.

Yeah cats are really starting to overrate Nance. I've heard someone on the radio say that if they had to do the draft over, he's be a Top 10 lottery pick. He's been a steal and pleasant surprise, but his ceiling is a great role player like AC Green.

Bro, is this thread serious? Randle is GAHHBAGE lmao. Ass. Horrific basketball player. Jabari is significantly better. Randle literally can't do anything on a basketball court but put his head and try to barrel his way to the rim and hope they don't call a charge.

pretty much

 

[GOAT]

What would you project his numbers to be per 40min & a main focal of the offense?

If Randle is the main focus of an offense....yikes.

Dude is a blackhole, has no post game, is undersized, can't finish around the rim, can't shoot, and isn't particularly athletic. 15 wins at most with him being a go to guy.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Everybody that knew anything on Noah vonleh knew he would be a project but had more upside than randle

This. Hell if the Celtics picked Randle before we did they would be talking bout "he just a rookie give him time "

But because he's a Laker then they say he's a terrible player.......

He told me that Randle is a damn 20-10 player

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

That's all facts tho Once bean is gone & randle is getting 40min he WILL avg 20 &10. You arguing just to argue now

I will say Jabari isn't playing as well as I think he can. He not all the way back from the injury imo .

Facts are tho based on play you would be absurd to think Jabari>Randle at this point. If not off individual play factor in the teams. As long as you have dribble happy MCW it will be hard to properly grow Parker. They really should scrap everyone but him & Greek & go from there

at this entire post. Horrible. Accusing me of arguing just to argue as if what you're saying is factual.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Based off the fact he putting up 12 and 10 in a limited role. He'd be averaging 20 and 10 this year with a proper coach.

 

[okgoodnotgreat]

Parker > Randle to me. I feel like Parker is just stuck in a bad situation for him at this time. No shooting + recovering from ACL stuff, so I'm giving him a bit of a mulligan. That said, he can't really defend - neither can Randle - and him becoming a stretch four is at the development stage at best.

I still bet Parker > Randle because I think Parker will eventually become a better shooter (He was fine at Duke) and he could create his own shot. That combination on O should be good enough to hide his poor defense when it's all said and done. Randle should be fine, both are nice young players to have.
