Remember when the Coli thought Jabari Parker > Julius Randle?

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

as if 15 and 19 is a lot more impressive than 12 and 19. both impressive statlines. this how I know youre on some hater shyt an will never give dude credit even if he warrants it...smh

What is wrong with y'all Lakers fans?

You're not understanding what I'm saying. He only had a few notable buckets throughout the game (mostly in the first quarter), besides that there wasn't anything special about his performance. He crashed the boards and outhustled the opposition when he was on the floor - which is pretty much his game in a nutshell. Nothing he's done this season has proven to be better than what Jabari has done. He's has scored in various ways, in key situations against all types of defenders this season. Randle hits the odd jumper and gets the majority of his points through mismatches down low or second-chance opportunities - garbage man-type buckets.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Most of those 19 rebounds were uncontested, and he had quite a few where he just made more of an effort when his teammates were trying to grab the same rebound - which is probably the only good thing about his game - that and his motor.

If Barkley can be more than a fringe all-star then what makes you think Julius can't?

The levels of comedy in this thread.

theyre both playing pf. Randle gives you 11 and 10...Jabari gives you 11 and 4. its just not adding up. I mean its cool Jabari has a more versatile offensive game, but if he's not more productive, who cares. Julius is producing more in less mpg.

Most of Draymond Green's rebounds are uncontested. What about those?

Are those uncontested rebounds somehow greater than Julius' uncontested rebounds because he plays with the greatest shooter ever?

it's okay guys, we can all laugh at gil scott/malta in a few years for backing Okafor's potential for no apparent reason.

Be afraid to @ someone


I been said Okafor would struggle defensively back when you Laker fans were saying he could be a DPOY because Marc Gasol was one Just like yall are saying Julius can be Draymond on defense

Are those uncontested rebounds somehow greater than Julius' uncontested rebounds because he plays with the greatest shooter ever?

And you're basing this on what exactly?

Considering that Draymond can run the offense, shoot, drive and finish and is the best defender in the league; whatever percentage of his rebounds are uncontested are inconsequential due to the other areas he impacts the game. Randle's basically just out there rebounding on a team that doesn't have any rebounders.

The goddamn gall of Kobe stans.

Suddenly, having a more versatile offensive game isn't that big of a deal if you're not noticeably more productive when that's been their go-to response when arguing for Kobe against Bron.

I thought FG% doesn't matter when one takes harder shots and doesn't settle for lay ups and dunks.

I ain't afraid, I knew you'd be here.


Y'all also said he'd improve because he has the "physical tools". He ain't getting better at shyt.

And don't group me in with people hyping his defense. I even said in this thread I just want him to be a positive contributor with a good role. I think he can be good offensively and a good rebounder. I doubt he'll ever be great defensively for a variety of reasons, but I don't really care because we're getting GOATside this offseason and he'll swat everything away anyways.

draymond is also 25, Julius is 21. Draymond was still hoopin at Mich St. at Julius' age

i) Randle isn't averaging 11 points in Milwaukee
ii) Randle isn't averaging 10 rebounds in Milwaukee
ii) Randle scores 11 points on 41% shooting from the field and Parker scores 11 points on 48% shooting from the field - how isn't Parker more productive?
iv) Randle averages 52 touches a game and Parker averages 46 touches a game - Parker gets less touches yet scores equal points on better efficiency
v) Just because he averages more rebounds doesn't make him more productive - most of his rebounds are basically off the fact he's the only player on the team who hustles for them

I mean have you even watched ONE Bucks game this season?
