Becaues he's a better pf then sf. I'm sure he could play some sf like Sap did for the Jazz, and probably fill that role better then Sap, but he's a better fit at pf in the nba.
kkk at his finest.

Not saying it will happen, but is it completely unrealistic to think Randle could be a more skilled and athletic Karl Malone.
Malone had that fire and aggression to his game. Question is can Randle defend, pass, and finish at the rim, and exhibit the relentless work ethic that made Malone the greatest pf to play the game.
What I'm getting at is I don't think Malone came into the league as talented as Randle is now. Not a great shooter or ft shooter, but worked harder then anyone else and wanted it more. I've heard all the talk about his hunger and passion and fire, but is it Malone hunger or everyone else hunger? If it is at Malon's level I expect him to be better, and if the jazz draft him and Malone gets to mold him... Dear lord we is going to kick ***!

The way that he is so strong dribbling with his right and shooting with his left is almost off putting(unique)
So how is he dribbling with his left and shooting with his right?
He's good with either hand, dribbling and shooting.
Obviously more dominant with the left, but scouts are drooling over his ability to go right or left and switch hands after contact to get the shot in the rim.

"Four from Jazz front office will be at tonight's Championship Classic, featuring Wiggins, Randle, Parker, five other projected lottery picks"
Expected as much, but good to see it being confirmed.

Yeah, I've heard that literally every NBA team will be represented at the game.
I'm not going to the game, but I will see if I can get any intel from some guys that will be around those guys all night.
What I would like to know and see is how Randle plays against bigger and taller opponents.
It's only 3 games into his freshman season, but you'll get to see that in about 6 hours. Not just bigger and taller, but fellow future NBA'rs.
PKM - serious question - what position does Randle feels like he wants to play in the NBA?
I know he's been giving us all the "I just wanna be a basketball player" bull. But do you know which position he actually prefers?
I have a very strong sense/feeling that he prefers to play the SF. More freedom with the ball in his hand, both in transition and half-court sets, and beat up on smaller guys off the dribble and in the post.

Good lord! Give it up already. Are you going to post the same post on every page of this thread.
For anybody that doesn't know kkk thinks Randle is a 3!
Yes OK that's the politically correct answer - that's GREAT.
But can you just give it to me straight for once, bro?!?! Pretty sure you're close enough to the guy to know whether he prefers the ball in his hand top of the key (ala LeBron) or backing down low left block, (ala Shaq/Jefferson/Malone)?
That I can answer.. he prefers to initiate from the perimeter. Not to necessarily shoot from there, but to have the most options available to him.
I think you have conveniently avoided the defense question, though. On defense, is he better suited to guard PF's or SF's?
