Remember when the Coli thought Jabari Parker > Julius Randle?

[Malta]

LOL at jabari being an average rim protector . Tell me all I need to know about you and your stats.

Why you talking about stats like it's some kind of magic?

I said since ASB he's been basically league average at the rim, which would explain why the Bucks are 15th in the league at protecting the rim since the ASB, there are 30 teams in the NBA, figure the rest out yourself.


The Lakers are 29th nah, Randle aint got nothing to do with that, teams have shot 60% at the rim vs them since the ASB.

 

[GreatestLaker]

You have to be a special kind of stupid if you honestly believe Randle is playing better than Jabari.

Parker is so much better than Randle. Its not close.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Men lie women lie, numbers don't

Numbers show you give julius jabari FGA and minutes he putting up the same points with more rebounds. If you prefer a 21 and 7 dude over 20 and 10 that's on you

How's it not close.....when the numbers are?



Again:

Since ASB:

Julius Randle: 29 mpg, 14 ppg & 11 rebs on 49% FG taking 11 shots per game
Jabari Parker: 39 mpg, 21 pts & 7 rebs on 52% FG taking 17 shots per game





Jabari Parker is playing 10 more minutes per game, taking 6 more shots, averaging 7 more points but 4 less rebounds.


Who's to say, at the current rate he's putting up numbers, that Randle's #'s wouldn't jump to 19 ppg & 15 rebs on 49% FG if he was averaging 10 more minutes every night.....because that's how his current pts/rebs rate is breaking down at a "PER 39 minutes", while Jabari's go down to a 16 pts & 5 rebs rate at a "PER 29 minutes"




I don't mind arguing that Parkers is better, or even Randle is better, but right NOW.....neither of them are "so much better" that "it's not close".

 

[Dwight Howard]

I can admit things unlike other people. Jabari has been playing better than julius since ASB but to say it hasn't been close?..to act like jabari is way better and all of a sudden a decent rim protector?.smh. jabari has alot more opportunities that julius right now but julius has still been highly productive

Do you watch the Bucks? I don't watch them every night but I've seen enough to know that there isn't a comparison between those two.

You dudes need to stop overrating players just because they wear a Lakers uniform.

Numbers say otherwise. The reality is Julius is an elite rebounder and has been scoring efficiently at a good rate since he's been starting. He will be a 20/10 threat every night for years to come. I doubt jabari is way better than that

Tell me how I overrated him by posting their numbers?

I hope you're right, but I don't see that ever happening. Julius always looks so damn awkward out there.

3 weeks ago you said Randle was better and now you're saying they are equals. So yeah you're overrating the hell out of the dude.

3 weeks ago, he was better


Jabari Parker has been playing much better since then and right now, I'd give him the slight edge due to his scoring.


Since I made that statement, on 2-23-2016 Randle has been averaging 14.7 pts & 10.3 rebs on 49% FG in 29.2 mpg....Parker has been averaging 21.0 pts & 5.4 rebs on 37.4 mpg.

ONE MORE TIME...


Since ASB:

Julius Randle: 29 mpg, 14 ppg & 11 rebs on 49% FG taking 11 shots per game
Jabari Parker: 39 mpg, 21 pts & 7 rebs on 52% FG taking 17 shots per game


PER 36 MINUTES SINCE ASB:

Julius Randle: 17.4 pts & 13.0 rebs on 49% FG
Jabari Parker: 19.7 pts & 6.2 rebs on 52% FG



But it's not close though....that's what YOU just said today



How is it not close Sway?

And this is what I said

:aboutbillions:






To my #LWO brehs @CantStop @Full Measures @Dwight Howard, I don't even know why yall arguing in here. In Randle's 36 starts this year, he's putting up 12.2 ppg & 10.3 rebs in 29.2 mpg in comparision to Parker putting up 12.0 ppg & 5.0 rebs in 30.3 mpg in his 47 starts.


It's pointless to even argue who's better right now, because obviously it's Randle



Kenneth Faried That's hilarious though and Bobby Portis being better than Randle is as well.

Never did I say "it wasn't close" or that Randle is "so much better right now" like you're saying for Jabari Parker



Randle did have the edge, because his numbers > Parker's at the time I posted it. How is someone gonna average MORE points & MORE rebounds, in LESS minutes.....but not be better at the time?

Since ASB:

Julius Randle: 29 mpg, 14 ppg & 11 rebs on 49% FG taking 11 shots per game
Jabari Parker: 39 mpg, 21 pts & 7 rebs on 52% FG taking 17 shots per game




I don't see where Parker is outplaying Randle, except for the fact he gets to accumulate more stats being that plays 10 more minutes per game and gets 6 extra shots per game

You need to stop doing this breh. Seriously. This is what happens when you just look at the box score to measure players. He accumulates more stats not just because he plays more minutes, but because he's used as a main option to score, because he has the skillset to do so. The same can't be said for Randle.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

@Malta hates Melo yet trying to prop up a poor man's Melo

@GIL hates Rondo yet trying to prop up a guy playing like a poor man's Rondo

Just say you hate the Lakers...

Stop thinking the world revolves around the Lakers - I've been talking about Mudiay's potential for close to two years now. I would be talking about him just the same if he landed in LA. I shouldn't even respond to nonsense like this.

How is he "acculamating more stats" when the ONLY thing in 10 minutes more per game that he does consistently better than Randle is score?


He's played 150 more minutes than Randle has played since the ASB, which is the equivalent of 3 full games and half a quarter more than Randle has played, but yet has thrown only 19 more assists, gotten his hands on only 11 more steals, blocked 3 more shots, and grabbed 40 less rebounds???



Explain this to me
