Rookie looks pretty good. LOL at teams wanting to take Aaron Gordon over Randle.

Should be fun watching him this year. I personally love the kid for his determination and willingness to work hard and refusal to lose.
 
His hesitation dribble is really good because of his ability to accelerate with power, but will that be effective in the NBA when no one respects your jumper or right hand?

Even when he does actually drive to his right, he tries to finish with his left, even when it's a harder shot.

Lame. He's got mobility and quickness that other 6'9" 250-lb players don't have. Plus he can handle, change direction and finish. He's going to draw a lot of fouls, score a lot of points and grab a lot of boards. Plus his defense isn't as bad as advertised.
 
I like Randle, especially for where he was picked.

Gordon seems meh to me.

He can go in 1 direction. He can't really handle as much as he just uses his nice combination of acceleration/strength to get by people. Not buying that is going to work in the NBA.

People are just going to sag off of him, overplay his left hand, make him try to finish around the rim with his off-hand and contest his shots where his small reach won't do him any favors.

You probably said this after Kobe is taken 9th.

LA Lakers is salivating after this draft. How they always get this lucky I will never imagine. We take kid at 5 who looks bust and they take kid at 8 who looks like D. cousins on steroids.

Jerry Buss probably sales his soul to illuminati.
 
I don't think Exum will bust. I still think he has the potential to be a bigger version of Tony Parker. I just think people were looking for reasons not to like Julius Randle leading up to the draft, when he's a likely double-double machine who will command regular double teams.

Not seeing it, especially the command double teams part. Maybe he will command you pay attention to him while you are boxing out.
 
I could him becoming a better version of Paul Millsap if he develops a similar skill set, but that is a big if and far from a guarantee.
