You nikkas funny. You people literally go where the hype is at. Randle gonna fall into someone's lap just like Cousins did in 2010.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Indiana not going to the tournament could hurt his stock if other guys below him show out in the tourney.

It could but I think if Vonleh measures out longer and with similar combine numbers I can't see a team picking Randle over Vonleh since they project him as a two way player.

Derrick Williams, Thomas Robinson and Anthony Bennett are still fresh in the minds of GMs, Kings especially have to see some similarities between him and Williams/Robinson.

Randle is a better ball handler, rebounder, and playmaker all the players you just mentioned. You're being lazy with the analysis.

Randle is putting up 15/10 on 52% in the SEC. He plays in the paint, looks for contact, and can finish against length.

Cool, and Thomas Robinson was putting up better stats playing in the Big 12 than Andre Drummond.


I don't really care about college numbers that much, he looks most similar to Robinson, Williams, Beasley and Bennett, could he be better than them at the next level, sure but nothing I've seen from him really wows me :yeshrug: And If I'm the Kings and I need shotblocking and potentially a defender at the 4, there's no way in hell I'm drafting Randle, I don't even like Smart all that much but I'd go with him or Vonleh over Randle for the Kings.

I'm not talking about the Kings specifically. And I'm also not focusing stats, nor are you focusing on the way these guy's play. If you were, you would know Robinson was average his freshman & sophomore years, and even in his one year wonder junior season, he had trouble finishing over length cause he has terrible touch, which also explains why he can't shoot a jumper to save his life.

Randle is a much better prospect than Robinson. If you wouldn't have bought into the Robinson hype to begin with, you would have an easier time understanding what I'm saying is right on point.

Again, you are being extremely lazy mentioning Thomas Robinson as a comparison to Randle. You needed to be called out, so that's what I did.

Cousins has a condor wingspan of 7'5.75" and crazy 9'5" standing reach.

Last time he was checked, Randle had t-rex arms, 6'10" wingspan.

:mjpls:

i already said before randle is just a thomas robinson, marrese spreights , derrick williams type dude, every few years a big man "athletic freak" who can bully white players and other college players but thier game won't translate to the next level.

@Recca Gatsby and I were clearly talking about the Kings, so whether you mentioned them or not is irrelevant since that is the discussion we were having. I brought up Robinson because the Kings drafted him, and traded for Williams, they are having little to no success with PF's that are in the same mold as Randle :yeshrug:

I also mentioned Beasley, Williams and Bennett, I can even throw Terrence Jones into the mix who is the best of the bunch. Again, what separates Randle from these guys other than hyperbole? I said he could be good at the next level, but nothing really wows me about him, you posted his stats and the SEC as one of the selling posts and I mentioned a guy that put up solid stats, hell every guy I named put up good numbers.

Anthony Bennett has a 7'1 wingspan, yet you just used him as negative when talking about Randle

Do you even watch him play? Thomas
Robinson was 'bullying' guys as a junior. Williams as a sophmore. Neither of them had the ability to dominate the paint like Randle can.

Speights? :laff:

Florida basically triple teamed Randle every time he has the ball. That is all you should need to know.

A 7'1" wingspan from a PF is nothing to write home about, nobody ever talks about Bron's wingspan and it's 7'0". A 6'10" wingspan in a PF is T-rex status, you better have a 40" vert or be Kevin Love to make up for it.

I even made that a point when Bennett was drafted by the Cavs, said he would struggle against bigger defenders and Cavs fans went on and on about his wingspan :mjpls: I bet if I went back and looked, we probably argued about Bennett :usure:

Robinson has great explosion and quickness combination, but he can't handle the rock, has no post moves, can't shoot, and can't finish. Outside physical measurements, he's basically the anti-Randle.

Derrick Williams was an outside-in player at Arizona. He basically played like a stretch 4 in college because that's how he wants to play, which is from the perimeter.

Additionally, he's not the rebounder Randle is and Willaims can't explode through traffic like Randle can.

You dudes need to try again...

Yea, go back and look and tell me what you find.

And Kevin Love is a perfect example for Randle. Love has the better J, but Randle has the better lift. They both have the touch and ball handling ability to take advantage of one on one match ups at the next level. They both play through contact, and are great rebounders for their position.

Love had a 35" vertical coming out of college, that is when he was 260lbs and never disregard how quick of a 2nd leaper Love is, he's off the floor the 2nd time before most guys get off the ground once.

It really isn't a good example, because there are TONS of guys the same height/length as Love, yet he's the only 1 doing what he does. I asked you what really separates Randle from dudes like Jones, Williams, Bennett, Beasley.....from a physical standpoint he and T. Jones are virtually the same :mjpls:
