The only guy that was consistently high fiving and cheering for players despite being glued to the bench. Randolph has borderline NBA talents at best, but I appreciate players that are a good locker-room and positive huddle presence.

I thought he played well pretty much every time he got some time.

Surprised he didn't get more with Plumlee playing so bad.

And yes, great team guy!

Would rather have Randolph around than Plumlee at this point.

I was gonna say the same thing. This is the only thing I don't like about the trade. Now bench will look like full of youngsters barely staying awake.

I appreciate that his name made me picture Z-Bo's brother and not someone who looks like the eldest Plumlee.

True pro though, they need more guys with his professionalism but better skills obviously...

Sorry to poop the party but what made him a a true professional? He looked out of shape the whole season. Pros don't do that.

Should've thrown in Plumlee instead.

Cheered the team on, played hard and did whatever was asked of him - even working on an outside shot as was asked of him. Never hung his head and never complained about PT - unlike Plumlee who has asked for a friggin trade after having like 20 good games his whole career.

Can't argue with that, he did a good job warming the bench, but only half of what Mr. Christmas did when he was here. I swear his bench hype probably single-handedly won us a couple of games last year.

Plum, on the other hand, he's a bit special. And I gather he was friends with Shav? That might also have something to do with his demands for a trade.

Christmas was amazing last year, dude's energy was off the charts. You can have one of those guys on the team and always should (Bazemore, Sacre etc), but more than 1 and you're probably not going to do that well.

Others have said it, but outside of the odd Goodwin excitement or Len scream after a dunk - our youngsters - particularly Ennis and Warren - are SO QUIET. Neither guy jumps up, which is fine if that's their personality, but come on show us some happiness!!
