What do wolves fan see the issues are with AR failure to be productive and our future center? from what ive seen lack of strength is killing him and the Lack of basketball iQ. I really had high hopes for him and wes thing year. Is adelman not giving him a proper chance? or is he even showing in practice he deserves it? We all just imgaine how good the wolves can be if AR just comes close to what we all thought. It brothers me so much of what type of player he can be. He would be perfect beside love for years! IF Deandre Jordan can pull together why cant AR. Hes more gifted more on the offence side of the ball and defence is all about desire and will. P.s By no means am i bashing Jordan however i know once he came into the league everyone thought he came to early from college and wasnt going to be what he is now and still developing .

He's got a 10 cent brain.

The problem with Randolph playing center is that he's not a center! He never was a center and never will be a center. He's a soft power forward with little low post game and that's why he can never play center effectively. He could probably be a good PF on the right team, but that will never happen here with all of our PF's.

He's a role player. Period. He's never develop any inside or outside game or improved defensively. My biggest gripe with him is he does not play with any intensity. Don't need to say a word, but you need to show some emotion in your efforts (lose balls, charges, etc).

Old REM would probably still give up solid assets to get magic randolph again

Magic Randolph for Dorell Wright. Do it.

There are many things to criticize AR for, but I think that lack of intensity is not usually one of them. Most nights, he really throws himself around out there, trying to do too much, and showing lots of emotion. His problem is that he hasn't been able to let the game slow down for him, rushing things a lot of time and becoming frustrated too easily. If you want to see a lack of intensity or emotion, just look at Beas on most nights. In fact, intensity is one of the few things AR still has going for him, and I think there is still some potential for him to continue developing his chemistry with Rubio and becoming a solid option for us off the bench. We'll see. I don't exactly have high hopes for him, but I haven't completely written him off either.

What does it REALISTICALLY take to get him? I mean you guys really have no place for him at all. Seems like he would make a good backup PF behin Ryan Anderson (after we likely trade Dwight & Baby)

Role player ... aka perimeter Defender.

However, with Darko nuring injury again, I'm not sure how he stacks up moving forward, and for all I know, we may look to start giving AR a little more involved with a more consistent role.

i always figured Randolph is a point forward.

JJ Redick?

Just mentioned him in another thread while unaware of this one.

Randolph can be a stud but he needs to go to a different team. A veteran team where he can play 20 minutes per game for a defensive oriented coach. To have a Taj Gibson type of role and go from there. Lakers, Celtics.

My thought as well. Don't know how their values line up - other assets may need to be involved.

I would be really happy to see Randolph thrive in Orlando if trading him brought us Redick. You out there, Mr. Kahn? Let's do this thing!

Reddick?

Dear God, no.

Reddick? we dont need another small guard, we need physical presence and good FG%. We dont need another ridnour. IMO We need Batum /Deng tipe of guy. (would't be nice?).

Talking about Randolph, i like the guy, i think he can develop his game and be useful for this team, lets give him more time to see what all mighty Adelman can do.

What's your problem with having a Reddick on the team?

Neither of them are SGs. If you want to trade assets so you can put a SF at SG, you might as well just keep Wes at SG.

you're right, my mistake.

BTW Adelman wants two ball handlers in the court, why not the Rudy Fernandez kind of animal?

looking for guards stats i've found a weird data, Tony Allen is having a season 46%FG and 42%3P!!!
reason: he has just hit 3 of 7 3Ps in the entire season.
