Following potential 2014 draftees

Here’s the offseason I’d shoot for:

With our own pick, I’d take either Parker or Wiggins.

Then I’d package our GS pick with Kanter and Burks or Burke and try and get as high as possible and take either Exum, Andrew Harrison, or Marcus Smart (in order of preference).

Then I’d slightly overpay Pau to come here for 2-3 yrs, then I’d run out this team:

Pau
Favors
Wiggins/Jabari
Gordo
Exum/Harrison/Smart

I like it, I would switch Favors and Kanter though.
 
If you are using a top three pick on someone you don't make him fit your system. You make your system fit him. There is no reason to draft Randle and play him at the 3. we would put him at the four and get another player by trading Favors or Kanter.

Julius Randle is Michael Beasley w/o the weed problem (maybe). He reminds me of Terrence Jones. He will be nice but don't think his dominance in college as a tweener 3/4 will translate to the pros.

Jabari or bust.

As far as Jones Randle has a much better skillset then him

Do you know whether he prefers to play the 3 or the 4?

Yeah, I've heard that literally every NBA team will be represented at the game.
I'm not going to the game, but I will see if I can get any intel from some guys that will be around those guys all night.

Please that would be so great!!!! I am stoked to watch the games tonight. I will give my "expert analysis" after the games.

Randle is more aggressive than Beasley, more athletic, and it seems like he has more of a drive.

Could he be a tweener? I don't think so. He measured in at 6'9 and 250 pounds with a 6'11 wingspan and 8'9.5" standing reach when he was 17/18. Will he grow more? Who knows...but he's definitely got good enough size to play the 4 position, and he's certainly athletic enough to do so.

However like I've said countless times, he's an immense mismatch for other defenders at the 4 position...if you play him at the 3, he's less of a mismatch. Much less. He's not a tweener IMO though.

Yes it does matter which position he will create the most mismatch.


However, if his game is to hold the ball at the top of the key/perimeter and make plays for others - if that's how he plays - then I'd say he's more suited as a 3 and I personally think he'll also enjoy playing the 3 more too.


But unless PKM asks him point-blank which position he prefers to play in the NBA, we'll just have to wait and see.
