I saw him play a lot in HS here @ prestonwood & there were some comparing him to lebron out of hs but I never saw it. I think he's a good player with the potential to be possibily be elite at the next level aka poor man's blake griffin.

He did a lot bullying in the paint in HS & he can do it somewhat in college but he has a very inconsistent jump shot, can't drive right & poor court awareness. Some of his flaws can be fixed but he will be a undersized PF in the nba & he doesn't have enough ball handling skills to play 2 or 3. I know his fam & all so I'm hoping for the best for him but I'm not blown away with his game up to this point.

All you can do is get a rim protector alongside him like what they have now at UK.

Randle alongside Larry Sanders would work well.

exactly. He is a tough rebounder and he can create space to score in the post. He's not a shot blocker or big time defender. Hell Blake Griffen is 6'10 and doesn't do much blocking but they have a dude like Jordan next to him.

Randle next to Noel, Sander, Mcgee, Drummond would be a good deal because he can shoot the 15-17 ft Jumper. And one thing that translates well from college to the NBA is rebounding. This dude is an 20pt 10rb a night talent and should be a top 4 pick.

He has I've seen him. But yes most of his point come in the paint or at the line.
he is shooting 0% on jumpers this year...............I'm not making this up. Unless he hit one on todays game or preseason. I only watched the second half of todays game
