word. short alligator arms, and not enough touch around the basketball. it's encouraging to see him attack the rim, but you still gotta finish it around the rim.

that block on GR III by Vonleh was impressive, stayed with him laterally the whole drive then stuffed the pull-up
Well he definitely is right now, but Millsap could def get up back in the day. I'm not underselling him at all. I'm saying that he has slightly better athletic ability than a young Millsap but with a way more polished game, which means he can have a far greater impact in his early years and has a headstart on Millsap on the quest for skill development.
Don't see how that's insulting at all, especially considering the ability of Millsap

LMAO.
1) Randle hasn't done too much against athletic defenders that are the same size as he is. He struggles when he can't bully his way through players, and he isn't going to bully his way through players in the NBA.
2) His wingspan is 6'11". Pretty much the only NBA PF's with wingspans at that length or smaller are athletic freaks (Blake Griffin) or very skilled players (Kevin Love). Randle is neither of those.
3) He's slow defensively, and he doesn't anticipate well. He'll get abused by any PF with any semblance of athleticism and a face-up game.
4) Zach Randolph is a terrible comparison, because Randolph has a wingspan of about 7'4-7'5. That makes a huge difference. We all know how much you love size…that's a difference of 4-5"…that's a lot. Plus Randolph is much more polished.
5) Randle is a darker skinned Tyler Hansbrough. They both generated at least 1/3 of their points in college from the FT line, and Hansbrough didn't get the calls in the NBA that he got in college. Average defenders who bullied defenses around, relying on the refs to help them out. Randle ain't all that great.
