I'm surprised to see McBuckets get some votes here.

If I were drafting between Randle and McBuckets, Id probably go with Mcbuckets.

The dude can shoot lights out. At worst, he's the Red Rocket and will burn the Jazz for 30 pts every single time you play. At best? He's Chandler Parsons. Most likely, he's something like Matt Harpring. I'll take someone who can shoot the ball at the elite level over Randle, who does nothing very well other than shoot left handed hooks.

For me, McBuckets fits a role that we are in dire need of... Someone who can step in and rip the nets from 3.

Danny Green, Chandler, Korver, will never win any awards for his athleticism. But man, is their shooting sweet! You can find a player like Randle anywhere and everywhere. Elite shooting is at a premium in the nba today.

If we were drafting again in the lotto, wouldn't you look at Mcbuckets? Imagine how he would open things up for Hayward, kanter, and favors
 
I went with Randle. I considered Gordon but realize he will at least play decent defense in the NBA - Randle is not going to be a good defender in the NBA.

That's kind of how I see it. At worse I think he is Korver on a super cheap contract for 4 years. That money we save from paying a dedicated 3 point threat on the open market can be reinvested on keeping our own guys or going after a big free agent (not sure who).

I'm looking at it in the perspective of the #5 pick. Mostly because some mock drafts have had the Jazz taking Mcdermott or Saric. If it's later in the lottery then they would be an obvious choice to select.

It's gonna be so much fun looking back at this when Randle tears up the League.



Smart's my pick.

I agree.

I think Randle will definitely be better than people are giving him credit for. I'd definitely take him over Vonleh. I just don't want another power forward which is why I don't want to draft Randle.

I do think that this board has soured on him because you have pumped him up a lot. I think you will be vindicated Hotttnickkk. Randle will be a good player. It's gonna be funny when that happens.

I think a lot of people are forgetting that he is only a freshman and nitpicking at him way too much.
 
I think Randle will be good (I think most do too), we just don't think he has the same upside as other options, and he's not a position of need which makes him less exciting.

I could see him putting up 13/8 as a rookie, and eventually becoming a 17/10 guy.
