Honest question here, not rhetorical.
Why is Julius Randle so far down in this poll? I'm going to defer to you guys here, because I'm guessing there are some better basketball minds on here. But when I watched him he looked like a beast. It wasn't just that he was stronger than everyone, he looked quicker - super quick around the rim. He looked like Paul Milsap Upgrade Version at best, and a heavier Antawn Jamison at worst. What am I missing?

I think there has just been more time to scrutinize and he has had the spotlight on him unlike Vonleh. I want Randle

Limited upside relative to Gordon or Vonleh.

Randle won't be able to bully in the paint in the NBA. I can see him possibly reaching a Kanter level player but that is his ceiling. Great role player for the right team, just not us. If your going to bpa based on potential(You kinda have to because of how young these guys are) it definitely isn't randle.

Agreed, except I think his ceiling is lower.
He's more Hansbrough than he is Zach freaking Randolph.

Imagine if the Hornets get him and sign a few free agents.
Who we draft at #5 is entirely contingent on how the first 4 picks play out. Exum and Vonleh are probably the front-runners at the moment.

Clarification
It wasn't a comp.
And I'm speaking of Kanter as he is now. Kanters ceiling is definitely higher than Randles,imo.
