2014 NBA Playoffs: 1st Round

Anyone watching the up-and-down Clippers/Warriors game who doesn't think Randle would be absolutely killing it?

I can't think who would stop him going hard to the rim and either scoring or drawing fouls.


are you saying he is a new karl malone? well then let's go get him at #4!
 
DeAndre Jordan is like a fine wine - he gets better with age. He's like an athletic, intelligent Ostertag.

No, I'm saying he'd be awfully difficult to stop in an open-court kind of game where the defense doesn't have time to set up and double-team him. He should have enough speed and body control to go right to the rim.

Edit: I just noticed that Randle's standing reach and wingspan are almost identical to Blake Griffin's. Not saying Randle has the same vertical as Blake.

Randle's freshman stats compare favorably to Blake as well, except for FG%.
 
So.... Randle looks like a Zach Randolph or Blake Griffin-type bruising PF. Why are some people saying he shouldn't go Top 6 ? He just needs a bit of mid-range game and he'll be really dangerous.

I feel very comfortable knowing we'd get Randle or Vonleh in the top 6.
 
Clippers have better defensive rotations, better interior D and slightly better rebounding. Ws are scrappy though.
