I think he fits better here since we have Gobert protecting the paint. Randle is such a great ball handler and hard worker. We really need to be considering him as PF option #2 behind Tobias.

I'm down with randle. His attitude would fit in perfect I think. Amazing motor, coachable, great work ethic.
Most importantly, can efficiently put the ball in the basket often during a basketball game. Which is the number 1 thing the jazz should be looking for.
In fact, Tobias harris sucks on defense. So does randle.
Let's do a quick statistical comparison of the 2 players. (Per 36. Randle played about 5 minutes less per game)
Field goal percentage:
Randle: 52% (15 attempts per game)
Harris: 49% (16 attempts per game)
Slight edge randle
Three point percentage:
Randle: 34% (3 attempts per game)
Harris: 40% (5 attempts per game). This is the clear advantage for Harris and why he will get max money
Huge edge Harris
Free throws:
Randle: 73% (8 attempts per game)
Harris: 87% (4 attempts per game)
I give the slight edge to randle cause you can't make free throws if you aren't getting to the line.
Efg%:
Randle: 56%
Harris: 55%
Even
Rebounds:
Randle: 10 per game
Harris: 8 per game
Slight edge randle
Assists:
Randle: 4 per game
Harris: 3 per game
Slight edge randle
Points per game
Randle: 25 points per game
Harris: 21 points per game

Randle is 24 years old
Harris is 26 years old

Harris will be a max player. He will make what? 33 million per year or something? (I have no idea what his max is)
Randle will make what? 27 million per year or something? (I have no idea)

I would rather have Harris without a doubt. That three point shooting and his ball handling seals the deal.
But..... Getting randle wouldn't suck.
Edit: I would add that Harris had better coaching, system, teammates, and overall basketball organization situations than randle last year too.
Give randle better coaching, teammates, system, and less distractions and maybe he would be even better.
