You are quite the linear thinker.

As it was already said before Randle is not a rookie. You'll see it when rookie teams will be announced by the NBA.

Yeah, we know he played meaningfull minutes last season, and he possesses great potential but it is what it is.

Just make a "The Randle thread watch" in the GB instead.

As a Laker fan myself yeah I agree this thread is not the thread to include Randle. But I wanna point on something weird, at least it is to me. 2014 NBA draft had all the amazing athletes and freaks. Randle 6'9 250 strong like a C quick like a wing player. Wiggins otherwordly athlete so is Lavine. Parker was considered a weak athlete next to these guys. Then there are Exum and Gordon. Even though injured Embiid in college was also an amazing athlete. This year players were less amazing in athletecism department but better in fundamentals of the game. And it showed how they come and just performed from the get go instead of the athletic freaks(even though they were unlucky, more than half of them had a season ending injury).

Karl Anthony-Towns has 26 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 blocks on 11/16 shooting at the end of the third quarter in 25 minutes of play (foul trouble, as he has four).

Mudiay just drilled a half court shot at the buzzer to beat the Sixers (video: https://streamable.com/dsew). Finished with 27/11/4.

Jokic with another solid night too. 18/8/5 in 27 minutes.

That Russell bounce pass to Nance on the break....

Yes, I'm a disgruntled Lakers fan looking for the little things this year.

That was sweet, but exactly half court lol. I think he has star potential. Kinda Luke Westbrooke just way less athletic, but be able to put up 20-22ppg, 7-8 assist, and 5-6 boards. Special draft class wow
