I think it's more important that someone else initiate and force the defense to adjust, then allow Randle (or whomever else) make the second pass that leads to the real breakdown of the offense. In the half-court anyway. On the break, I like the ball in Julius's hands.
Yeah love the lil out of border line control pass and pick by getting in the pathway of the defender lol.

17, 14, and 10? Holy cow what a game. He was very under control too I thought. Yeah, he's becoming our Draymond for sure, especially on the offensive end. Getting better on D, too. He's really developing in his understanding of the system and the game itself. Some folks here were really hating on him last year and early this season. Love that he's proving them wrong.
Happy for the guy. It's basically his 2nd year and he already does so much. The jumper is slowly coming, he hit a crucial one at the elbow during the 4th
Didn't catch the game, but just watching the highlights Julius is becoming the player everyone wants him to be. He's becoming such a complete player and a team player at that. Reading the defense, finding his teammates, attacking in a variety of ways, setting better screens, taking pride in his defense, playing with more energy and discipline, and he's only gonna keep improving.
I'm surprised he doesn't get more offensive fouls for turning his body after the handoff. He chucks the ball to a guard then moving screens the defender a lot. I'm not complaining, but if I was playing against him I would be. The last couple steps: paying attention on every play defensively and taking the three when he's open. I love that he's willing to be the guy passing the ball, but sometimes you're wide effing open and you need to shoot it.
For some players in this league, that seems to be a perfectly legal move. Maybe Julius is one of those guys, who knows?
