I definitely agree fiendishoc. I think Randle's advantages are marginalized at the 3. He is taken away from the basket guarding SF's so his rebounding numbers decrease. His handle are also not strong enough to create on the wings and also he does not have the range (3pt) to set up as a SF. I like the comparison you made to Griffin a lot.

I think Randle has shown his dribble is good enough to create from the wing but it not consistent enough for anyone to want to move him to sf.
I was just thinking..what if randle has the same problem robinson thomas is having? Both used to dominate becaus e of their superior strengh but once robinson got to the nba he couldnt do it.
They are both the same height and weight but robinson has a much bigger wingspan and is more athletic..umm hopefully randle figures it out

thats why we thank god that Randle is so good off the dribble. and his touch in the paint is frickin amazing, too.

Robinson wishes he had the footwork Randle has in the post. And the advantage Randle has with the face up game? Not even a comparison offensively. Defensively Robinson is more advanced and has better tools. But he's too much of a liability on offense and his defense is not strong enough to warrant quality minutes.

Beasley could also stroke it from long distance. The combination of not having a 3pt shot and not having a consistent handle is what hinders Randle from being a SF.

Artest's handle wasn't as good as Randle's. Lots aren't. As far as transitioning to the NBA Level it's the strongest part of his game.
Tyreke Evans is an SF who can't shoot a lick btw. It's not a deal breaker.
Earlier in the game, as Randle set up near the top of the free-throw line, Kuzmic put a hand on Randle's right hip. Randle slapped it away.
Kuzmic did it again. Randle slapped it away again.
The next words came from a referee: "Knock it off, both of you!"
Randle, fearless? Indeed.
He has underrated ball handling and passing skills. He's already NBA strong as a 19 yr old. He has excellent finishing touch around the rim. All that is good. But IMO, the above quote is why he'll be great. _________________ A key that has the ability to unlock many locks is a master key. But a lock that can be opened with any key is useless.

I just wanted to say that I can not wait to see this young man go to work when the season starts.
I am very happy to have a player that wanted to come to the Lakers as much or maybe even more than that Lakers wanted him. Kobe is the only player in my time that I have gotten to see grow with this team and become a man and a legend.
I was hoping to get to see Ariza and Bynum grow with us also but you know how that went. I am hoping we do not trade him in the future because I think he is going to be special but how special I am not sure yet.
To see a big man with skills and being able to dribble and attack the basket while blowing past an opponent is going to be something to see. '
I would love for him to develop a mid-range game over the next few seasons because his ability to drive will always be there.
I am ready for the season and to see Randle become a cornerstone over his career with the Lakers.

If shaq came back to the lakers in an assistant coaching role to Julius randle. Teaches him how to be a dominant player. How to pass to guards block shots and excel on footwork just like how he did when he was playing.
Would be nice to see Lakers and shaq rekindle in that aspect
I know injuries are apart of the game, but It would have been great to see a prime 20/10 Bynum playing alongside Randle. Will never see it but that would have been a great frontline and made it easier to transition from basketball after Kobe. We're definitely going to have to get a defensive 7'0 C to pair with Randle next year because he has all the tools to be a 20/10 franchise player for a long time.
Shaq is a great player. Not sure about his coaching. Too much "give it to the big man. Let him dominate. BBQ chicken" analysis for me to take him seriously.
