Cmon. The photo is angled. What's the point of trying to figure out his height from that photo. It's as bad as that Nike group photo where it only shows the torso up.
Hopefully we get a more level full body picture with reference. |

Why is Julius working out with Dwade, Thomas Bryant, DLO, and a random older guy when he should be in the gym?? |

You're just joking about the "random older guy" right? _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

trainao Do you have your ball on a string? @juliusrandle30 showing off his right here from DEEP. .
As a shooter the best place to hit is inside BACK rim. If you can consistently make shots and hit the back of the rim, the ball should come back to you. Try it out from the free throw line. Shoot til 5 come back. Then try to get 5 in a row. Then make it more challenging. |
For some reason a left handed shot always looks smooth to me. I use to love watching Peeler shoot... |

I won't be convinced until I know the thickness of Blake's shoes. And don't even get me started on measuring orthopedic inserts and socks. _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service

Isn't it funny how you stop talking about how much weight a player lost, or how much muscle they have, or how tall they are once they actually amount to something? That all seems to not matter any more. I hope that day comes for Randle soon. _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service

Randle will shoot better from outside, use both hands at the rim, and be much stronger and more physically fit.
2) Ingram is stronger, better able to finish through contact he creates instead of absorbs (a huge advantage because of his length), has a refined free throw shooting stroke that translates to his outside shot, has a quicker 1st step, and has improved since the impressive summer league game.
3) Rookie pg getting rave reviews in practice, apparently is on track to dramatically elevate teammate's games and the team's pace just like he's done on his summer, college, and high school teams.
4) Rookie fwd is a great shooting, good defending and passing, fast break finishing steal of the draft.
Those 4 athletic bodies, along with an all star center, a sg skilled on both ends, and some nice backup pieces to plug in are going to result in....... wait for it........ 7 more wins this season.
(sound heard on the old KLAC/KMPC Jim Healy radio show: a) extended laughter........followed by b) a moderately slow)....Ok. |

I recall Kobe's workout and muscle gain being a hot topic midway thru his career. Same deal with LeBron's diet and weight loss a few seasons ago. _________________ It was reminiscent of one of those Most Interesting Man in the World advertisements: "I don't always shoot 6-for-28 from the field, but when I do, I become the youngest player in league history to score 28,000 career points." |

Depends what he shows this year. If he shows that he's too good to come off the bench and the Lakers are able to sign both PG and LeBron, I have a hard time seeing Randle come back unless they want him to start at C (which would obviously mean they let Lopez walk). _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

are you serious? there's no way randle is going to start at C for anybody ever. and we don't need George AND LeBron. we'd be better off getting one of them and cousins or noel. |
