:what: Lack of effort?

Randle is legit a workhorse, yeah he has some off nights, like any star, but I don’t think it’s lack of effort

Exactly. He is leading the league in minutes and hustles back to play defense every time he scores a basket.

He has his flaws (turnover prone, forcing too many fadeaways) but it's not for lack of effort.

Yeah, I don't even necessarily disagree with the point dude was making, effort was just a terrible word to use.

I don't think Randle can be the #1 option on a team that wins a title but all that means is he isn't Bron, KD, Kobe, Chef, Wade, Kawhi, Dirk, Duncan, or Shaq. What he has proven is he can be the 1B to one of those guys - and in the meanwhile keep you above water and competitive until you get that running-mate for him.

Julius has actually reached and surpassed the ceiling that many had for him coming out of Kentucky. He is the definition of what a most improved player should be. Big ups to him for the season he had and i hope that he continues to find success in the coming years.
