He's been impressive for his second year in the league so far. However, HE ALWAYS GOES LEFT. HE ALWAYS USES HIS LEFT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BASKET.

This is just basketball fundamentals folks, it blows my mind how he's an NBA starter and cannot go right. He plays out of control 40 percent of the time and his passing ability is questionable. He tends to retreat back to the high school days and jumping into the air and passing the ball. That may work in some cases, but he does it way to often which mostly turns into turnovers.

Randle is a talented player, no question about it. If he could improve his shooting (outside+midrange) along with the ability to go right and finish right.. just imagine. Luke needs to be on him all next summer about going right.

How many right handed players ONLY GO RIGHT!!!!! 40% of the time? My guess is most if not all of them.

Randle can go right, but if the opponent can't take away your dominant hand, should you just shoot with your off-hand to impress the ladies and satisfy stat-geeks? He's shooting over 50%... Do you think that would improve if he shot some of those shots with his off-hand?

Rande's made a grand total of 2 turnovers as a result of bad passes... He's our second best assist man... His volume is way up there but he's only turned it over on passes twice. His turnovers are mostly lost ball turnovers. Sure some of those could be interpreted different, but still, Randle's been making solid decisions with the ball and making the right pass most of the time.

For those that watched Worthy.... he dribbled not only with one hand for his entire career he also never dribbled without looking at the ball.... He was OK.
