    Yeah now the concerns about Randle at SF seem less likely.

    Not sure why Randle is being sooo overrated among Laker fans.

    All he can do is a spin left and a hook shot. He is undersized, plays below the rim, plays no defense, has erratic ball handling and not a very good passer, lacks range on his jumper..

    seriously, Randle can be a very productive player in the NBA but he is nowhere near 20/12 or whatever people are predicting. His ceiling is about the same as Jordan Hill IMO.

    Yeah. I don't agree with that assessment of Randle at all. I have no idea what kind of numbers he will give us this season, but he has a lot of talent.

    @KB24 that's maybe the most pessimistic scouting report I've ever seen of Randle. :D

    Honestly he hasn't shown us good or bad defense yet. He's very athletic, I'm not sure he plays below the rim when he's got room to get up. He's a terrific ball handler and has very good passing ability. True we haven't seen the jumper with our own eyes, but every single Laker reporter, coach, and executive says it's looking fantastic this summer.

    I'm not sure what you're seeing my friend.

    KB24 needs a hug. I noticed a pattern last night. I wonder why he's so down when our team is filling out great and free agency hasn't even started.

    I wanted Okafor over Russell, but i had a huuuuuge smile right off the bat because I started thinking pre draft about getting past the Warriors.

    haha, I don't know where to start but I do agree with you that anyone thinking he's averaging 20/10 next year needs to come back to earth.

    But you'll be pleasantly surprised come Summer League.

    I agree he is an unknown, but come on now, he never had a chance last year to show what he's got.The little I saw of him in preseason left me intrigued on how good he would be. Yeah 20/10 is way too optimistic, but 12 /6 is not...I'll be happy with that out of a 20 yr old

    I think he can realistically average about 16/7/3 with a block and/or a steal a game.

    Dude, you're being sooo pessimistic all the time. I feel like I haven't seen even an semi-positive post from you in the last couple of years. Cheer up, we're heading the right direction :party:

    I think the suggestions that he's a sf are overly rosy and not based in any reality I've observed, but comparing him to Jordan hill...man, that's harsh.
