Would Randle be ranked higher than these two if he were a true rookie in the 2015 draft? _________________ Billions Billions Billions |

I rate OKafor and Towns above Embiid, so I would say no |

I think Randle would probably go third or fourth in this draft but that dose not mean that Randle can't turn out to be the better player. Only time will tell that. _________________

I'm in the minority, but I like Randle more than either KAT or Okafor. I'm really, really high on him.
I don't think KAT is going to be a superstar, but he's going to be something close to it. Like 18/11 with great shooting. Julius has the potential to be a superstar.

Next season will essentially be Randle's rookie season so this question will be answered in time, but I would say No. |

Will next season be Julius' rookie year?
I thought I heard something last year that the NBA wouldn't count 14-15 season. Can someone confirm? |

Can we just wait until any of those guys actually play against NBA talent to decide? |

Don't you guys think having two young big men might bring out the best out of each other? Both would be competing for minutes and for the starting lineup alongside love/gasol/ or boozer _________________ Billions Billions Billions |

Think he can ask the NBA to make an exception or something. He can be a "rookie" next season if he wants to. |

Even after smoking a lot of crack I think that Randle is the inferior player to these two gentlemen. But I did just smoke a lot of crack, so ... |

Teams will always draft centers with potential over anyone else. You simply can't pass up on that kind of potential.
I think Randle is more likely to be a better player than Towns or Okafor, but it's hard to say until we've seen them for a few seasons.
I just know Randle is far more skilled and athletic than most people initially thought. Randle should have been a top 3 pick in last years draft, but I think his foot injury and his agent scared other teams away. |

If Randle were in this draft class, he'd probably be chosen right around the same place as he was last year -- 6th or 7th. |

I disagree. If he was coming off a healthy season at Kentucky he would easily be in the top three or four IMO _________________

He wouldn't get enough mins to showcase like Lyles. |

Out of sight, out of mind... I can't even properly recall Randle's skill set and how it would fit with either Towns or Okafor. (I mean, I remember on paper, but the images of him playing are now thin in my mind.... signs of age. ) _________________ "We got a new universe coming and he's going to control all our universes.

Lyles wouldn't get minuets with Randle ahead of him. _________________

Definitely no. I think he would be #4 to #7. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I won't piss on the only good news we've had for almost 2 years, but let's keep things in perspective...None of these guys have played in the NBA yet, we have no clue how these guys are going to pan out. In fact, if Sac came to me right now and wanted the pick for DeMarcus I'd do it in a heartbeat! |
