After watching the Kentucky game my only concern with Randle was getting dunked on by 6'0" Russ Smith. His lack of length prevented him from contesting that shot, Randle did not arrive late either, he was in good defensive position and had his eye on Smith before he even entered the paint.

It was just too late of a reaction.
Calipari had WCS out defending the perimeter shooters and Randle was asked to defend the paint with no help defense. He had never done that before and on that play was caught over-thinking the d. (kinda like kkk most restless nights)

he has classic PF body and strength. but PFs are getting bigger and bigger in today's NBA. everything about him is 4 for sure. but i just wish he was litlte longer, and little taller.
I think Jabari's athleticism is a tad underrated. He's not far behind a guy like Jeff Green. He just needs to work on his footspeed and moving in a defensive stance. Those are things he can work on.
I'm splitting hairs here.. but I don't think it's as much of his athleticism being underrated as it is his lack of athleticism being overstated.
Same thing? I'm not sure.. lol

I feel like the trend in the nba is the stretch 4 (marvin williams, ryan anderson, etc)
rept
4 is the NBA's most versatile position. Players who are versatile, good defensively physically and mentally are rare.
