But consider Randle played whole season with a bad foot and look what he did.
This may explain why he could not go right, had no explosiveness, no quickness.
Look what he did even when double teamed etc.
If he heals up and checks out OK how good could he be?
If doctors guarantee him a 100% recovery does that put him into consideration?
Is he worth taking at #5 knowing what we know now?
Does that tell you what kind of Karl Malone warrior game he has?
doesn't really matter. obviously it didn't bother him much.
my concern is foot injury in itself. this could be absolutely nothing or it could be a ticking time bomb. we don't need a future karl malone that never was.
at #23? that's fine. let's gamble. but at #5? hell naw.
