Very rarely.. and he has to do a big run up most of the time using up lots and lots of energy.


It wasn't easy for him that's for sure.

He is quite impressive at times, especially given the fact he is a 200+ lb point guard.

I'm not saying he can't dunk it. All I'm saying is he needs to do a big run up to get that momentum going and he uses up a lot of energy... trying to carry 200+ lb body going airborne.


For the dunk to be an effective attacking tool, he really needs to be able to do it effortlessly without much timing & him expending too much energy doing it. Moreover, the dunk itself could be counter-productive if he gets tired or injured doing it (he already has a bad ankle).
 
It's funny that I've been trying to find (again) a particular video of Randle that shows his final two games of the season last year (state championship and semi's)... and just realized it was the 2nd post in this thread. It REALLY shows Randle's skillset across just two games.
 
interesting if the jazz were in position to draft Randle, Parker and wiggins off the board, I think a good coach would find a way to play kanter, favors and randle together. it might be creating a different offensive system and movement defensively. I think it could be done.
 
Could be done I suppose but Parker would be the better fit, I think. Looking forward to seeing some college bb. Mainly looking at;

Wiggins - dominance
Randle -can he play SF??? (I am not sure he even should)
Parker - how does his skillset stack up against more athletic/faster players
Gordon - overall skillset
AnHarrison - Poise
AaHarrison - can he play PG in the NBA
Young - does he have enough strength for the NBA
Kasey Hill - is he a value pick with the GSW pick
more I'm sure...

A 3-man rotation of Kanter, Favors and Randle works, with Gobert getting limited mins. as the fourth big. But after Year #1, would Randle be content coming off the bench? He'd likely have to start as a big SF, with Hayward at SG. As PKM said, can (or should) Randle see any mins at SF? Perhaps as just a token starter, then he's either the first one out or Favors is, with Randle then sliding over to PF. It would certainly be a nice problem to have. I think it could be managed, by a coach who is a good communicator. Oh wait, Corbin has a history of alienating players by not explaining their roles.

YOU waste a lot of energy. See above.

Now after watching tens of Randle videos, I am almost certain that he will get minimum mins as a SF, maybe none at all. Especially after his first few years because he will get heavier and heavier with time with that body type. No way he can play SF if he gains another 15-20 libs.
 
i said a good coach but corbin is not a good coach. Everyone wants to define the 3 as a SF. If you want to play them together the flex wont work but a motion offense would or a highpost. kanter can hit the 3 as could randle.
