if dude is showing he can get you 15 and 13 per36, you don't bench him. its kind of a no-brainer. you literally switch your stance on Randle on a game-by-game basis. you have a PF in his first NBA season putting up 11 and 10 in 28 minutes, who's showing drastic improvement as the season progresses, and your talking about benching dude. smh
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.
and for the 10th time none of you will address the fact teams shoot almost 70% at the rim when he's contesting a shot. Parker has more steals in his last 7 games than Randle has in his last 20, so what are you really going off of? Are you just looking at season stats and not the increased playing time afforded to Jabari now that MCW is out and no longer holding him back? Jabari is averaging more assists per game since the ASB as well and more importantly if you watched them play you'd see the differences between the two, for one Jabari can actually make shots from more than 10 feet from the rim. That's a two game sample. Horrible trolling.
He plays PF. He's a PF for the sake of this discussion. He just a weak rebounder and has many of the same flaws you criticize Julius for.Actually, yeah since the ASB Jabari does block more shots which is pathetic considering he's a SF that playing PF, Randle has 2 blocked shots in his last 20 games, Parker has more in the last week
Parker is the better defender which is comical to be honest, he's the better rim protector which is hysterical considering he tore his ACL and he's playing out of position ontop of that.
Nah, Randles game is just ugly to watch. That has nothing to do with him being a Laker.
Because I see what you're trying to do, and it doesn't work like that. You can't just take "scoring more efficiently" out of the equation when that's the basis of why he's the better player. How can you honestly sit there and discuss Jabari's game when you don't even watch him play? I'm floored by how y'all Lakers fans continually do this.
You always get emotional and act like I'm throwing shade at Randle. He's a limited player who plays extremely hard. I've been consistent with my praise/criticism of Randle. I like him a lot, but you guys act like he's the next Karl Malone.
:smhkobe:Clarkson deserves to be on the bench more than Randle does...but thats another thread
Yes. I watch every game...he snatches board from everybody. Doesn't matter who's down there
So let me get this straight, Julius would be grabbing 10 a game if he played with Giannis/Middleton & Plumlee or Monroe?
Giannis has been pulling down 10 a game since the ASB, who on the Lakers is fighting Randle for boards?
Actually, yeah since the ASB Jabari does block more shots which is pathetic considering he's a SF that playing PF, Randle has 2 blocked shots in his last 20 games, Parker has more in the last week
Parker is the better defender which is comical to be honest, he's the better rim protector which is hysterical considering he tore his ACL and he's playing out of position ontop of that.
coming your way. In fact, I'm attempting to have a civil discussion
