Remember when the Coli thought Jabari Parker > Julius Randle?

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

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 more, and grabbed 40 less rebounds???



Explain this to me

Just stop it breh. Stop looking at the box score and start watching games.

Outside of scoring and being on the court 3 full games more worth of minutes....what is Parker doing better than Randle?

It's not as simple as taking out scoring, and asking what does Parker do better - especially since that folds into so many other areas on the court. The problem is, you believe Randle can average the same points as Jabari on the same shots/minutes - it doesn't work like that. Percentages drop the more FGA you take, especially for players like Randle who have a limited scoring skillset. He's not good enough to be a main option scorer at this stage, whereas Jabari has already proven he is. All this doesn't even need explaining if you watched them both play - I can't stress this enough.

Do Lakers fans seriously believe if Randle took 17 shots a game, he'd shoot above 50%?

 

[Dwight Howard]

Do Lakers fans seriously believe if Randle took 17 shots a game, he'd shoot above 50%?

in the two games he's attempted 1 shots:

vs. Dallas 9-17 52%FG
vs. Chicago 10-19 52% FG

his efficiency increase with more FGA, according to stats

I don't know why people keep bringing up double doubles, who gives a fukk? He gets 10 points and 10 rebounds but does very little to affect the game. He stops the ball and never seems to know what to do with it, he doesn't set screens, he can't read a defense, its just bully to the basket and unintentionally use glass on an off balance shot or hold the ball for 5 seconds and then pass the ball just to get rid of it. Brandon Bass is probably below him in most statistical categories but he's so much better.

You didnt answer the question...you side stepped it.

Outside of scoring more efficiently, what does Parker do better than Randle?

anytime your averaging 3 OREB per36, your affecting the game.

and you can complain about how he scores, but the fact is he has been shooting 50% since he's been put back in the starting line-up

Not give up 70% at the rim


Parker is the better player, if you switched them Randle would be coming off the bench because he has no jumper, and Parker would probably be averaging 18-20ppg for the Lakers.

This would be like saying Thaddeus Young is better than Demar Derozan.

@Bilz GONE HATE AT ANYTHIN LAKER RELATED, IF RANDLE WAS ON THE BUCKS N JABARI WAS ON THE LAKERS, HED BE SINGIN THE OPPOSITE TUNE

 

[Regular_P]

My #LWO brehs get so irrational when it comes to Randle. I love his energy but he's a sixth man on a good team.

Nance should be the starting PF for the Lakers going forward.

you don't bring double/double machines off the bench, its a waste of productivity.
