Randle is awesome
because if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have had Towns

Some of us knew that their spacing would suffer. Couldn’t play out any other way

This was one of my biggest fear with ant coming out of the draft. I compared him to JR Smith. He had these tendencies of going into chuck mode and stop attacking. Dudes pulling up from 3 like 12 times a game and it’s not a good idea. I’m sure not having Kat at the 4 hurts but it was already trending down before the trade.

Def not touching the starting line up. We didn’t turn this game on its head until precious left the floor. You don’t need to guard him at all and messes up spacing massively. You don’t invest a ton of assets to build a 5 out roster to add another non shooting big. It’s okay to have some line ups that can’t space out like that but it’s dumb to nerf your most powerful weapon.

This is exactly why we can’t start Mitch next to KAT. This offense relies on spacing.

Man smfh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s sad bro, what Jalen do to him??

[Jalen Bluntson]

LMAO man I have been backing KAT since like 10. When we FIRST got him I was a bit nervous because he was billed as a ranger defender but not the best scorer. That was complete BS though, day one he looked special on offense and after like 5 games I was sold. I don't need to fill out **** I should have alumni access to any KAT NBA fan club.

As for Ant, I'm not worried about it yet, he just got locked into a major deal and he has been given the keys. I expect the organization to make moves if this team has a mediocre season. They aren't going to let a bad team sit around after the recent success.

Fair enough. you are president of the KAT hive.


What do you think they do with Randle?

I don't need to be president, I'm just a know KAT supporter, we can leave it at that.

I don't know about Randle yet, he seemed to be a really good fit early on but that has slipped. From day one my thought was that he was more of a means to an end of getting off of Towns contract but what was great about him in particular is that he could replicate or more like, replace, a lot of what KAT did at the 4. KAT at the 4 is not as potent on offense as KAT at the 5 and he and Randle on paper match up well on a production standpoint at the 4.

In reality, Randle's game hasn't fit as well, Towns's offense was sacailed back a lot at the 4 because he didn't have the speed advantages he enjoyed at the 5 as much and our spacing was not there because Gobert was at the 5 and we didn't have great shooters at all the other positions. KAT was good at picking his spots though, I think he actually needed to shoot a lot more three's than he did.

Randle hasn't been as good at picking his spots. He does a lot of iso ball, like Ant, and it works sometimes but that kills flow. On defense Randle hasn't been close to KAT either, KAT took some big strides on the defensive end as a 4 last season. So all in all the fit has been messy, though we have seen some promise. Randle's ability to dish off the drive was great early on, I do like his ability to get off a shot through penetration too.

I think the front office is leaning towards moving Randle at some point but there is still a huge probability that they want him to be a part of this core and they are going to try and figure it out. It looked horrible last night, and we have had a lot of bad games, but that doesn't mean the team can't get much better in time. I still don't see this current roster as hopeless and I doubt the front office does too.

You will find that Randle is always going to be Jekyll and Hyde. His negatives outweigh his positives more often than not. He can do a lot of things well but, his mental approach is a constant battle. His five years here was a rollercoaster of ups and downs to the extremes. The last two with Brunson were a bit more stable though. He's a bus rider who needs to stay in his lane. He is not a KAT replacement on any level when it comes to winning.

The wolves need to figure out what is the best way to maximize Ant and build around that. I don't see how a Randle/Gobert FC works in that regard. His own words he needs to operate downhill. There's a roadblock in the lane with Randle and Rudy. I would think they have to move on but, good luck with that. The financial move they made was the wrong one IMO.

We shouldn't change anything but, they will share the floor. I don't see any major problems with it because it's not gonna be a major part of what we are doing. We run PnR with Mitch and have KAT/shooters stretch the floor for those minutes. Leave the lineup as it is though.

There has to be trade for when/if Mitch gets healthy. Mitch is gonna need his 20ish minutes and precious needs like 15. The only way that can happen is if you’re planning them with Kat for 10 each. i def dont want most of kats minutes being played with another big. Especially when he's playing the best basketball he's ever played.
