Remember when the Coli thought Jabari Parker > Julius Randle?

[Dwight Howard]

15 and 17. Let's stop acting like this is normal...

15 and 17. Let's stop acting like this is normal...

1) He's not that good
2) Uhh he rebounds his own misses and stat pads his own boards
3) Defense sucks
4) Can't shoot
5) His ceiling isn't that high

I'm gonna make it easy for them(haters) and let them pick one of the above.

You left out injury prone

 

[Gangstar8]

You left out injury prone

how is he injury prone

 

[CantStop]

You left out injury prone

How?

 

[Bilz]

How?

So you're saying the other 5 criticisms are valid?

 

[Malta]

3) Defense sucks
5) His ceiling isn't that high

These two are true

 

[CantStop]

These two are true

A player averaging 11/10 in 27 minutes his first year at 19 with no jumpshot and playing for the woat coach doesn't have a high ceiling?

tell me more

He doesn't, you keep talking raw numbers without any kind of context, he's shooting 42% from the field despite the fact he doesn't really take any jumpers or threes. He struggles vs length, his arms gonna grow anytime soon?

Tristan Thompson put up 8/7 his rookie year in less minutes, you would have been calling him the next Karl Malone if he played for the Lakers. shyt Michael Beasley posted numbers too, big deal. There's nothing about Randle that screams impact player like yall keep saying, he's a good rebounder but that's about it. His defense IS bad, and that will limit him in the future.

T rex arms..1 move..bull rush to the rim and throw up a left. and got a ugly white woman.. Not a recipe for success

 

[Dwight Howard]

These two are true

if Draymond Green can become a great defender, so can Julius.

you keep moving the goalpost. at first you said he couldn't finish over length but in the last 3 games he's had success finishing over Towns, Lamarcus, and Anthony Davis. and he's regularly snatching boards and overpowering bigger players.

now he doesn't have a high ceiling...how is that the case when he's averaging a dbl/dbl in 27 minutes and is showing steady improvement each game. his last 9 games he's averaging 14/12/2 on 49%FG in 31 minutes, and this is without many offensive moves. he's hit a jumper each game, and is seeing the floor a lot better. you really think dude gonna stop getting better?

 

[Dwight Howard]

finishes over length consistently in this video...including 7'3 boban. time to start putting this myth to bed. his strength outweighs any time of length problems.

 

[KOBE]

I still like Favors more than Cousins, there isn't a player in the league I've soured on more than Cousins.


The unstoppable Boogie aka Young Shareef Abdur Rahim bout to miss the playoffs yet again, meanwhile Favors going to the playoffs.

You blaming Boogie for his shytty management?

Compared to what the Jazz have built around Favors? If you replace Boogie with Favors on the Jazz they'd be an even better team as it would give them another great scorer to go along with Hayward. Favors is better defensively, but they already got Gobert and they'd be a dominant front court together(which favors/gobert should be anyways).

Stop it, stop using one off examples as a reason for thinking a player can do something. You did this with Okafor when you thought he'd be a Laker, saying if Marc Gasol could become a DPOY so could he. Draymond is a 1 off, his lateral quickness is part of the reason why he's such a good defender, Julius is 20lbs heavier than him so unless Randle drops some weight that aint happening. But of course, you'll always point out the one example in the league, the highest example too, not the in between but the absolute best defensive PF in the game and then try to draw a comparison


He doesn't have a high ceiling, yall muthafukkas said Charles Barkley now it's Draymond Green on defense as well apparently.
