It's only the 1st game, but Randle showing lots of decent SF skills in the highlight below, including:
- Can handle the ball very well in fast beak situation and also as a facilitator at the top of the key
- Very good passing skills for someone who's supposed to play PF this year
- Nice shooting stroke - seems like his range is out to the 3pt line (he's wayyy ahead of the curve compared to LeBron in this regard)
As has been noted by PKM, there are 2-3 times when Randle would start at the 3pt line, top of the key, then makes his way into the paint & drawing double team. Numerous times he seems to have enough vision to pass out to his teammates waiting to shoot 3's. If the defense sags, he simply makes his way to the basket and finish hard at the rim and/or draw fouls.
This is something that he seems to be able to do very well and seems natural to him too. To me this is strikingly similar to the way LeBron plays at the moment, his size, post game/face up game, the way he drives to the basket and making passes to his teammates.
