I always said Jabari is more skilled offensively,but I think you're underestimating Randle's play :yeshrug:

I give 20-25 games before I make statements but, with Randle's T-Rex arms the lakers will need a shot blocking Center or stagger his minutes with the bench, I think Jabari can be slightly above average against PFs.

He's been one of the few Lakers to have a somewhat positive impact on defense (alongside Nance and possibly Ingram), but he's still a (very) poor rim protector.

Jabari hasn't shown much defense as well

Randle is essentially a sophomore so he could still have a lot of development on D, but I can't imagine he'll be a good match up against the longer PFs like AD in the playoffs.

There aren't as many scoring PFs in the East compared to the West and Jabari has JKidd as a coach. I think he'll be at least decent going forward. And I can give him the benefit of the doubt because he's got the length and athleticism, at least until All Star Break.
