Because you compare players' skillsets, productivity and impact that have the same or similar role on their respective teams. Giannis is the #1 option on the Bucks, Randle is the 5th option on the Lakers. You can't compare the two. Just like you can't compare Randle to Jabari (#2 option).
Remember when the Coli thought Jabari Parker > Julius Randle?

Julius is a more efficient scorer, better playmaker, better rebounder, and better defender. This is supported by numerical data. None of your bs arguments can change that.@Dwight Howard you're living up to your namesake. Never seen a poster with a more appropriate name.

I'm glad you finally understand. Now you can start comparing Randle to role players.
Check-mate.
Are we no longer comparing Draymond Green to any #1-3 options on teams? That means he's out of the top 100 players basically.
Don't say retarded comments like this. "Randle is the fifth option because he scores 1.0 PPG last than his teammates because Walton implemented a better system".
Again, as I said in the Lakers thread, you're agenda based posting as well and it's sad. You want to call us out on being biased yet you never, ever, compliment anything about Randle's game or his improvements this year. You're essentially pretending he's the same player he was last year(a player I was quite agitated with) when he's not and has improved SIGNIFICANTLY.
The difference is, he arguably has more defensive impact than every single player in the league. What he does on offense is basically the icing on top.
Well Randle basically is.
I do NOT have an agenda. That would be you and the Lakers fans only. I'm not even a fan of Jabari's. If Randle wasn't on the Lakers we wouldn't even be having this conversation, because you wouldn't give a fukk about him. I don't give a fukk about the Bucks yet I'm still aruging FOR Jabari. That should tell you who has the agenda here.
Why should I compliment his game when all y'all try to do is prop him up over a better player? Y'all clearly ain't willing to have a proper discussion. It's far too early to say he's significantly improved. I haven't seen too much difference in his play besides showing more effort on defense.
