So let me see if I follow you: Not too long ago, you couldn't come off this idea that Randle is or could be a SF, and now you are wondering if he could be Demarcus Cousins - a center that is one of the biggest, most powerful, and slow-footed players in the NBA?

Seriously though, players change all the time. Their bodies grow so fast, then their games change accordingly.
Take LeBron for example, if you guys remembered correctly, started out playing PG for Silas. Then he was that SF that dominated in the conference Finals vs the Pistons. Then for the Heat he plays some PF to pushed them over the hump.
I know it's easy to be fixated on positioning, etc, but I'm a bit more free in my thinking.

Lebron hasn't fundamentally changed and that happens very rarely. Lebron has been a primary ball-handler ("PG") for pretty much the entire time he has played organized basketball. He hasn't changed that much besides having rounded out his game (perhaps most notably by learning how to play in the post in the last couple of years).
Demarcus Cousins is very fundamentally not at all a perimeter player. Or "SF".

and that's over-paying..
