would 6ft 7 1/2 barefoot randle bother you guys? it will bother me especially with his short arm. he won't even be bigger than boozer if that's the case.

would 6ft 7 1/2 barefoot randle bother you guys? i think it would bother me especially with his short arm. he won't even be bigger than boozer.

Yes, it would bother me. It would bother me less if he could use both hands but he's too predictable.

Why does Randle's size bother you in that pic? He's taller than Poythress who is at least 6'8". He looks every bit of 6'9". Karl Malone was 6'9" and I don't think his arms were especially long - though maybe they were. Hard to know. If he measures at 6'7.5, that puts him at 6'9". Again Malone was 6'9" and I never had a problem with his height. So to answer your question - no it wouldn't bother me.

it looks to me cauley-stein has a good 4 inches on randle. or at least 3 1/2 inches. and you have no idea if Poythress is 6ft 8 or 6ft 9. only sure height in any of these picture i've posted is Nerlens Noel who was 6ft 10 barefoot at the predraft. and you can reasonably conclude that wcs is about 6ft 11.

if wcs was true 7fter, then yeah randle looks to be karl's size. but i doubt he is a true 7fter.

and unlike randle, malone could hit those jumpers, and he really was freaky strong with long arms. randle is strong, but he ain't karl malone farm boy strong and he doesn't have malone's long arms and can only go left. huge difference


well, hope you are right. i just wish he comes in tall at 6ft 8 barefoot and put up good predraft numbers. and take him if we don't land top 3 pick

I would like him to come in at 6'8" barefoot as well, but again, to answer your question, it wouldn't bother me if he comes in at 6'7.5". If others are bothered by it, I understand. I just want to see somebody contain Randle without a double team. Until I see that, I might take him if he's 6'6".

I just hope that whichever team drafts Randle the coach will let him do this on occasion:

my problem is that he doesn't seem to have a great vert, and he misses alot around the basket. let's say if he comes in at 6ft 7 1/2 and 6ft 11 wingspan, then a lot of his shot will be contested because of the way he plays. i wouldn't say he has an alligator arms, but many in here say he does. i wouldn't go that far, but his length does look ordinary on tape.

regardless, he really needs to get better at going right, really needs to develop a soft touch around the rim. i would hate to see him turning into a tweener. he is a classic PF. dude needs to bang with the big boys in the middle. his spin move is great, but he needs to develop jump hooks even more and really needs to be ambidextrous or he will never take that next step.

Preach it. I couldn't agree more. I'm not as worried about all that other stuff though. Some guys, in spite of the apparent flaws, simply get the job done. You know exactly what they want to do and you still can't stop it. I could be wrong, but it just seems like JR is that guy.

and he misses alot around the basket.

Yet still shoots 50% while getting doubled and tripled alot.

So if he gets more one on one matchups and stops "missing alot around the basket" as you say he does, then what would his shooting percentage be? 65 percent?

60% would've been ideal. any decent PF who bangs down low better be a 50% shooter in college. favors was what, 61% at GT?

But its amazing he is a 50 percent shooter despite all the shots he misses around the basket like you said he does.
