I don't know why Randle gets such a bad rep for being a black hole. Favors has averaged 1 assist per game in his career and just half an assist per game this year. Randle averages 2.5 assists per game. Randle can handle the ball and attacks the bucket. He goes to the line twice as much as Favors does. He is shooting 7 free throws per game this year. He goes to the line as much as Gobert.
I have some major questions about Randle and he definitely isn't my top option, but if he keeps his current form all year playing next to AD and Mirotic, I think he could be a bargain signing should NOLA put all their money into AD and Mirotic.
