Draymond Green is a Julius Randle fan. In between the Golden State Warriors' two preseason games against the Los Angeles Lakers, the All-Star forward said that Randle might end up being even better than him one day, via the Orange County Register's Mark Medina:

Green believes Randle "can be real special," raving about his length, athleticism and playmaking. Green also said he considers the comparisons between him and Randle "cool." Those comparisons have been drawn more frequently with Randle's expected emergence under new Lakers coach Luke Walton, who spent the previous two seasons as a Golden State assistant.

I don't think I've ever seen Draymond do a spin move. Prime Green would have been a nice fit next Dubious Handles. Even though I'm a supporter that has to be the greatest nickname ever for a Knick.

This is the first time I've heard of that nickname, and it's fantastic. :lol:

That's actually catchier than "Hands of Stone" (or "Manos de Piedra"), Shandon Anderson's nickname. :lol:

As far as Randle goes, like I've said all season, he isn't the guy you want to be your no.1 offensive option, especially if your starting PG is Tarantula Head and if the main goal should be to develop RJ Barrett.

Tarantula Head (for the 2 people who don't know what I'm talking about):

It’s as if you took prime Melo offensive skill set with way quicker decision making and added Mitch’s body and athleticism. Freak of nature.

And it looks like an extra switch has been turned on inside AD's head. He's always been very talented but the question was whether he had that extra switch that guys like Lebron, MJ, Kobe or the other top top dogs was able to turn on come playoff time. Sure looks like he can turn the switched up a notch. Still having Lebron behind you makes it easier to do so...but yeah, he's looking real good.
