I think randle can play small forward. He is going to start for the jazz at small forward for like the next decade. He is the next bryon russell, tbh. Any if you guys think he can play small forward?

Oh so you agree too? I think he will be better than Russell though tbh.
 
Maybe I've been too harsh on Randle.

What I'm trying to get across is that if we were to end up with him, I would be angry. Not because he's bad, but because I feel like there are better options. And I just like to annoy nickkkkkk.
 
I pity the poor suckers who would be disappointed if the Jazz got this beast in the draft:

Some guys just have "it". It doesn't matter the level they play at, you put them on the court, they were born to be stars. Randle was born to be a star. People are worried about wingspan. Randle is simply the most talented, toughest, hardest working guy on the floor and he knows he can't be stopped. Charles Barkley was a 6'5", but he had it. He was too skilled, too strong, too talented and he knew he was better than everybody else. That's Julius Randle. If the Jazz don't get Randle, it's all moot, I won't give rat's *** about him. But if the Jazz do draft him, jump on the bandwagon and enjoy the show, baby!
 
Mike Scott, Tomike Shengelia, Tobias Harris, Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris, Tomislav Zubcic, Trevor Booker, Luke Harangody, Dante Cunningham, Taylor Griffin, DeMarre Carroll, Jon Brockman, Darrell Arthur, Trent Plaisted, Donte Greene, Maarty Leunen, Craig Smith, Jason Smith, Carl Landry, Glen Davis, Reyshawn Terry, Cody Zeller, Joffery Lauvergne, Erik Murphy

are the illustrious group of PF's drafted since 06' with a wingspan of 83" or less that Randle, Gordon, Saric and McDermott are about to join

Yikes. A graveyard.
(FWIW Scott has been killing Indiana in this first round :) )

And if you actually watched the games, you would realize that Randle doesn't shoot from deep well, doesn't pass well, and sure as hell doesn't defend well.

You can't just ignore the numbers nicky boy, they do tell part of the story. Certainly not the entire story, but you can't just ignore them.

I think he's gotten butthurt as Randle's gotten trashtalked once too much. Prolly just trolling to turn the situation around.

This is how Randle was guarded all year. He averaged a little over an assist per game.

He's a great passer guys!!!

So kkk care to explain me what playmaking options Randle has in that situation?

basically his wingspan. I agree that is a weakness but as far as passing, going right, defense, etc.... all of those are coachable/fixable/schemeable.

There's things that are coachable in that selection

a) Calipari emphasizes defense a lot because he knows he can't win by pure offense with inexperienced freshmen. Randle hasn't responded to the demand to play defense. Half the NBA coaches emphasize that less, how likely is it that he changes his approach?
b) draftexpress guy wrote somewhere in the past that severely improving your handles happens very rarely. Like it's really rare. Rarity level of guys developing good free throws late in their twenties.
c) Coaches usually say that court vision is something that's nearly impossible to coach. Either players have it or they don't. If they don't they sometimes can screw your offensive schemes a lot.

yup. also in the past 15 years there's been 0 1st 2nd or 3rd team All-NBA PF's with a 83" wingspan or less

It would be awesome if there were no changes in the draft lottery and went like this...

Milwaukee - Wiggins
Philly - Embiid
Orlando - Exum
Utah - Parker

If we do get Parker, he should play the sf position for us.

That's actually a real possibility.... I can see why Philly would take Embiid... pair him with Noel and you have a real defensive frontline.


Orlando desperately needs a PG.. Exum can be a MCW type PG for them.
