I like Randle, not saying I dont. But I am kinda worried about how his game translates to the NBA.
Hes 6'9 250lbs. His weight is great, but his height is considered "undersized" for the PF position. And hes not a great athlete running the floor or that explosive. He is really really strong for college ball and dominated mostly because he could just overpower people in college. Not sure if he can do that in the NBA.
Hes like Zach Randolph without the consistent mid range game. And he always goes to his dominant hand, left, and rarely uses his right.
Hes got a weird blend of size and skills IMO. He dribbles well for his position, but its not like he will be playing on the outside in the NBA or be asked to bring the ball up the court. Hes strong and powerful, but undersized and doesnt have that explosive jumping ability.
Im a fan of his and really like him. Its hard not to like him. He plays his arse off, fights on every possession, and is a hard worker and a good kid. I dont think he busts or is out of the NBA after his 1st contract or anything like that. Hes a "safe pick" IMO. He wont be bad, but I dont know if he will be consided "good" either. I just cant tell what kind of player he will be in the NBA. He could be like ZBo or David Lee, or he could be like a Brandon Bass.

Ehh he just posted like a 39 inch vertical at the Lakers workout. There is youtube video of him and Marcus Smart doing a dunk off and you can tell he is definitely athletic.

He has one, but Cal never really let him use it. Same deal as AD. It just never fit with what they wanted to do on offense. He is much more athletic than Zbo, but doesn't have the ridiculous wingspan Zbo has.
When they do all of those analytics, one of the key things they look at is rebounding rate because it one of those stats that really translates. His numbers are great there.
You have to take into account that in college he was either tripled or doubled on every possession.
I think the floor is really high on him. I don't know if he will be an all-star, but I can't see him being a bust.

6'9 250lbs isn't undersized, though he doesn't have great length. He can stretch the floor, though Calipari didn't use him that way, and is a very explosive athlete.
