We Will Rise Again: Official 2014 Laker offseason thread

[True Weltch Media]

No face up game? Come on breh.....you couldn't have been watching Julius Randle this year. He always faces up and drives to the hoop, throwing his shoulder into the defender to create space, and then going up big.

He rarely got the opportunity to post up without a double and triple team running at him, so he relied heavily on facing up.

Brehs, if yall just gonna hate on the pick just to hate, at least look him up first

He is also a great rebounder especially offensive boards and great at put backs too.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Im telling you brehs you're going to enjoy Randle.

 

[CantStop]

how can y'all hate on Randle... dude has legit shot at being the best player in the draft.

 

[madeyoulook]

He's a PF who plays down low on the block.....you want him shooting 3's?

he has the same body type as david character

no vertical, short arms, supposedly inside player

I remember character getting a shot off maybe 2 times in his entire career...everything else was blocked




Im not saying he is gonna be as terrible as character but serviceable aint good enough

 

[True Weltch Media]

Sixers just took Payton, will the Lakers trade Randle and Nash for Thadeus Young and Michael Carter Williams after the draft?

Yeah....Ima UK fan.

I'm not the type of person to keep on hating the lakers draft pick even though he wasn't the guy I wanted. I am starting to come around on Randle. And with kobe on the team, Randle will be eating very well. He won't be seeing those same double and triple teams in the nba.

Uh Caracter's issues weren't his arms or length. It was his attitude and lack of work ethic.

Glass half full...............with scotch

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Real bummed brehs. Not gonna lie. Great college player no doubt but I don't see his bully ball translating. Until I see it on an nba court this feeling like an L

 

[gho3st]

So who we getting in the second round?

 

[IGSaint12]

I'm hearing trade rumors for payton. Would you guys trade nash and randle for payton? I wouldn't dislike it.

 

[YourMajesty]
