    Yup! [​IMG]

    On another note re: Julius, I was surprised to read the other day from someone's posting of rookie measurements between Biff and Julius that Julius had the bigger wingspan by an inch or two. Same "max" vertical as well. Biff had him on the standing vert. That's OK. Julius is on the move a lot .....

    Medina's picture is so unflattering on that site.

    I think Laker fans are going to really love watching Randle this season. Everyone's focus is on the 1st Team All-Rookie and the #2 pick, but Randle may be the surprise of the year. I'm really looking forward to his contribution.

    I wouldn't at all be surprised if he's the best player on the court most of the year (Expecting and injured Kobe).

    Seriously. First rule of lakersball is you dont talk about kobe like that, second rule of lakersball is you dont dare argue about kobe
    like that, because if IFs and butts was candies and nuts, then wed all have a merry christmas.

    Stop playing franchise mode on nba live, enjoy today, cause were not promised tomorrow ;)

    I believe Kobe, even with season ending injuries 3 years running, because of the nature, semi-freak on all 3 of the injuries..... has earned some positive thoughts going forward due to his body of work in playing through any and all kinds of injuries the 1st 15 years. He's earned that. So go in, glass is half full, I believe is fair. Nothing more this season that is serious enough to shut him down or keep him out 20+ games.

    ^I share the same sentiment. He (Randle) has me looking forward to regular season. He's going to add a lot of fun and excitement.

    Randle is a solid prospect. As usual though, I suspect expectations are too high.

    I don't see the wide array of moves to be great on offense and definitely, I don't see any great defense. He does have a motor and he seems to love contact but in order to be anything more than a role player, you need to have something that you are excellent at. I don't see Randle being great at anything, nor good at everything. I think his ceiling tops out at 16/9 with average defense. Thats not bad at all if he can produce those numbers, but it might be a few years away.
