Great choice wanted him from the get go. Let's go Lakers!

Wish we would have traded up for Exum.. oh wait.. no assets.

Randle is a good consolation.

Randle is happy as f@ack too

welcome to LA. I like that he said that people will regret that he wasn't picked first.

I'll have a scouting report up later tonight on Randle. Would've liked to see Embiid drop, but I've maintained all along that there's about 6 surefire guys in this draft. When the Magic reached (IMO) on Gordon, that guaranteed one of them would fall to us. Solid pick, tremendous player.

Welcome to a Future here in LA. I love his confidence and he already got a chip on his shoulder. I'm happy with this pick

So what's his upside?

Well Randle is the most likely to challenge Parker for ROTY. Super happy with this pick. Not the greatest defender but a sure double double machine that loves to bang in the paint.

Nice pick. Looking forward to watching him play and how he fits into the rebuild.

Either he or Vonleh would have been solid. Good pick.

Not a big fan of this pick. Wished we could've traded up for Exum or drafted Vonleh. I trust management's judgment though.

Some interesting news. I'd be cool with a front line of Randle and Hill with Kaman one of the bigs coming off the bench

18-11 and ROY

I'll be surprised if Randle averages dd rebounds, just doesn't have the length to grab boards out of his vicinity.

We'll see, still a good pick at number 7
