Randle, initiating the offense experiment should be over 

Post#1 » by B-Scott » Tue Mar 28, 2017 5:59 pm

Luke Walton, continues to try and turn Julius Randle in to Draymond Green, but here is the difference. Draymond, is naturally unselfish and looks to drive and kick to open shooters such as Klay, Curry, Durant. Randle, will get a rebound, bring the ball up the floor and D'Angelo is wide open in the corner for three. I'm yelling at the TV.... Pass the ball, he's wide open

This will lead to Randle going 1 on 5 and a turnover. The other team scores on the other end and Lakers fall down by 10. Had he made the correct decision and kicked, we might be down by only 5 points.

Randle, is not Lamar Odom, he's not Draymond Green because he doesn't have good court vision when handling the basketball. He doesn't see the guy spotting up for three. Lakers need to play him more like a traditional power forward. Rebound and outlet to the point guard. No more bringing the ball up the floor. I'm shocked Luke doesn't see this

Cool story bro... Need to have more to contribute than a rant about a hypothetical scenario.
Never have rice at Hanzo's house...
