Meh. Walker is more cemented in the paint. No offense outside of 5/6' and not a ball handler. Just a tremendous athlete with an unstoppable motor.

I hear ya.

I've been very clear for years on this board that I hate comps so I, more than most, are hyper-critical of them. I know it's fun, I just have this strange aversion to it.

Exum should turn out somewhere between Kerry Kittles and Penny Hardaway. Incidentally, both those players had injury problems.

I think Randle is like Webber, but with some modern upgrades. I like the young Carmelo comp too.

I think of comps as projecting roles and general impact on the game. I think Randle has better upside than either Webber or Carmelo, fwiw. I don't think there's really been a player with his size/power and ball skills out on the floor.

Hmmm.. Kittles is an interesting comp..
 
I just can't see how anyone (there are only a couple) can see these vids and think Wiggins would go anything but #1 right now.

Interesting that both Randle and Young are lefties.

Sorry, no one read this, just me being giddy about this upcoming season;

PG - Andrew Harrison / Aaron Harrison
SG - Aaron Harrison / James Young
SF - James Young / Alex Poythress / Julius Randle (I would guess Poythress will start the year in the starting line up)
PF - Julius Randle / Alex Poythress / Marcus Lee
C - Willie Cauley-Stein / Dakari Johnson / Marcus Lee / Julius Randle
