Randle reminds me of a more physical blake griffin than any of those comparisons. I think he'll develop a jumper with time, his stroke doesn't look that bad but we don't need him to take ANY jumpers on our team. He'll be even better with NBA caliber teammates, people just pack the paint on us because no one else can hit outside shots and they triple team Randle constantly. Now, yes, his passing needs work but with a better spaced floor that will be easier for him. I still think he has star potential due to his physicality and mindset (he wants the ball and wants to be the alpha dog). His handles are very similar to Blake. His game certainly has holes but what recruit doesnt? I've seen him play lockdown defense on bigs and guards alike when he puts his mind to it, still a top5 pick imo
He's a below the rim player, Blake finished over and through people.
Why no comparison to Terrence Jones? He's REALLY similar to him.
Not in terms of vertical leap no, but Randle is more physical/stronger then Blake is.Randle isn't in the same stratosphere of athlete as Blake
Or speed, or lateral quickness, or body control/coordination not to mention the large gulf in skills
Yeah, they are similar, T Jones was certainly a better shooter/defender at this point though. How long is ZBO's wingspan? I still think Randle could be really effective in the post using his strength and muscle.
Randle is like a freight train when he gets going, he's pretty god damn fast for his size, I definitely agree Blake has better body control and coordination but Randle is still only 19 years old, of course there is a difference in skills.
There's no concrete numbers on Zbo, but it's always been listed between 7'2" and 7'4".
Randolph has high shoulders, so I'd assume his standing reach is in the lower 9 foot range as well.
So what do you think Randle's ceiling in the NBA is? I find it hard evaluating exactly what he can do when he gets triple teamed every single time he touches the ball since no one on our team can hit a shot (until the last two games)
I don't think he's a franchise player or superstar potential, he could be a all-star with the right team. I think the best places for him to land would be Denver or Orlando, in Denver he'd probably be able to post some really nice rookie numbers in the high pace & with Lawson setting him up.
He may get that extra growth for camp I've seen it before..especially if his athletic skills grade well.
yall think elfrid payton is coming out? ive seen him as a 1st rounder on some mocks all year. this was my 1st time seeing him play tho.
that sun belt game was something serious. my moms was telling me that theyre ballin over there. that was a good game b. i watched it more than the a-10 & acc joints that were on.

Needs another year. He should be a freshman age wise but is a junior. Gotta work on his 3 point shot and finishing in the half-court. BUT a tourney run can change that quick.
