I like Randle but I fear he is going to be another David Lee who puts up monster stats but has no impact on winning.

Marcus Morris seems perplexed that he's gotten 3 straight questions about ice baths :lol:

“There were a lot of max-type players that we could have met with, that were interested in coming here. We had a certain way we wanted to build this team"

Ah yes. The old “we didn’t want them anyway” spin. Good on you, Steve-O.

I’ll eat a lot of crow on Randle if he’s hitting the 3 consistently and often

I can't believe how much time the press is wasting trying to force a connection between RJ and Danny Jones

Pretty much how I feel. I dropped that comp in the summer from a value standpoint.

RJ looks so strong in his upper body even bigger than he did at Duke... I really can see him playing some small ball 4 in the future.

If RJ isn't at a Penny or T-Mac level, we're doomed.

Why is this one reporter obsessed with ice baths?

I’m looking for Frank and Knox to improve their game to the next level. I would love to see a lineup of Frank, Knox, Morris, Randle, and Mitch for 5-7 straight minutes.

Post #136 » by **GONYK** » Mon Sep 30, 2019 4:30 pm

RJ thinks he and Frank should play well together

I have no idea what pic is from, but I had to check Frank's eyes on that. Looking a little blazed :lol:

Well Lee was key to winning a championship. You just need to find the right roles for guys. Randle is on that bubble a little. He could either be a guy who takes a next step and is among the best scorers in the league, or is a really good 2nd scorer, if not great. That's all well & good. His contract and skills are a fit for 2nd scorer. Hell you can pay your second scorer a true Max and in this day & age that's what will happen.
