He's playing pretty well in Eurobasket. He has ties to coach Kokoskov (though the Slovenia national team + Bill Duffy and BDA Sports). He's transformed as a player over in Europe. Legit stretchy 4. Kokoskov knows how to use him.
Discuss.
(Our) Coach K is quoted in that ESPN article sayign that he should be in the NBA. If the Jazz don't go for him it will probably be because Igor knows that Randolph is still a lazy head case to some degree and would be disruptive to what Quin and the coaching staff are trying to build here with extreme accountability.
It's worth exploring. The first question is whether Randolph is better than Eric Griffin and whether he'll get much playing time. Our roster is pretty full. There'd be nothing wrong with inviting him to camp.

definitely great vids. I know JJ is going to be playing a ton of backup PF minutes, but Randolph plays a position-of-need, imo. And would be high on the depth chart. And would be cheap.
He wants a defined roll, so what are you willing to promise him?
IDK. If you're bringing in a vet like Joe Johnson, I can see promising minutes. I don't really see Utah doing that with Randolph.
As far as a defined role, in Utah I think that would be something like: you'll get the minutes you earn, otherwise your *** sits on the bench.

They'd probably have to give him a 2-year deal and give him an opportunity to earn a role.
"I feel like I have to know that I'm going to have a role and that I can help the team and that I have an opportunity to play. I don't want to go sit on the bench, I want to play. I love playing basketball."
I was reading this ESPN article about him and was just thinking this.
