Define "better."

More ppg? Better FG%? Helping his team get wins (win shares)?

What'll it be bubs?

Banking on that injury all the Randle haters lately. It can backfire tho....don't be too sure.

This class is extremely interesting to say the least.

To be honest the most likely player to bust out of top 7(Top 7 picks minus Embied and +Noel)

Is Aarron Gordon IMO. I just don't see the potential with him.

Randle I see developing into a Z-Bo / Boozer, 20/10 a night ki d of a player

Anthony Randolph (2008 draft, 14th pick Golden State) dominated 2009 Summer League.


After attending a Dallas Mavericks-San Antonio Spurs playoff game during the Warriors' offseason, Randolph became motivated to improve his play, hitting the gym hard to prepare for the following season.[12] Randolph's efforts first began to reward him in that year's Summer League being held in Las Vegas, Nevada where he not only began to dominate consistently but was also referred to by various sportswriters as being the best talent in the entire Summer League.[13][14] Among other highlights, including a then-Summer League record tying 42-point explosion in game four against the Chicago Bulls' Summer League team, Randolph was invited to attend the USA Basketball Men's National Team mini-camp following his dominant Summer League performance.[15][16] Though many believed Randolph was a lock to win Summer League MVP, the honor was given to 2009 first overall pick Blake Griffin.[17]

guaranteed hes not a bust, love his game. Real bruiser. Obviously needs to work on things. But he can be a 10/8 guy immediately.

I like them both, but I really like Noel. Cavs should have taken him first last year.

He's going to be the best player in the 13 draft imo.

That Jrue Holiday trade has the potential to be one of the worst trades in NBA history.

An overpaid/over-rated guard for Noel, the 10th pick in the following draft...which also allowed them to get their future first rounder back from the Bynum deal.

Depending on how Saric and Noel shake out...that really could be just horrifically bad for the Pelicans. Made even worse by the fact that the Pelicans made the trade in a rebuilding mode. They weren't contenders and might not make the playoffs again this year.
