Randle is very good. However, he is not a #1 scoring option (2 or 3, imo).. and he's not a defensive stopper.

I'd like to see Parker as a #1 option, pick up WCS with the 2nd pick (huge upside but almost certain great defense..to go along with Parker's lack thereof), and use a trade/FA cash to get another SF and maybe PG.
 
Randle looks like a really good player the way Favors or Kanter look like really good players at times. But does Randle have the game to stand out in the NBA? We need a stand-out player. I see four stand-out players in this draft- Embiid, Wiggins, Parker and Exum. When I think about Embiid, I think about Hakeem Olajuwan or Tim Duncan...someone who can become one of the best ever. When I think of Wiggins I think of guys like James Worthy or Scottie Pippen. When I think of Jabari Parker and Dante Exum...you get the point. Somehow when I think of Julius Randle I don't think of the potential to become an all-time NBA great. With the other four I think it's at least a possibility.
