Julius Randle is BLOWING People Away

[AirTupac]

This morning Trudell said Randle has looked amazing. Said he hasn't seen him doing any 5-on-5 stuff but he's definitely been doing full speed, full contact 3s and 4s and he's been blowing everybody out of the water in workouts.

Lakers unwilling to part with Julius Randle in Cousins trade talks. He's lost 20 pounds and his outside shot has improved. A lot.

Him and cousins would be the perfect combo

[LA.MJ&KB#1]

This is great news (that the lakers don't want to trade him).

[Ca$H]

Randle will probably end up being the GOAT. An alpha version of Bran.

[no pun intended]

Damn, this probably means we are drafting Okafor...

[ClipperRevival]

Loved him from the moment I started scouting him last year. He had rare quickness and explosiveness for a guy his size but to hear that he might've lost 20 lbs? Wow. I can't wait to see this guy on the court.

Is it really surprising that they are trying to bump up his value the same day he is involved in trade talk? Some people believe whatever they want to believe.

Could be. But its not news that he's been a workhorse the whole year to get to where he is today. I have no doubt his shot is much improved. His weight loss is quite noticeable if you have been keeping up with Randle's updates.

Totally misread the title, thought this wasy gay-related thread :confusedshrug:

This.

[Springsteen]

It's Cousins or him. Lakers have to decide.

I have no doubt that he has improved (as most do at this point in their careers), but the timing of this report with some probable exaggeration is the part I'm pointing out.

[Duggrr]

Cool. Aldridge can be his back up

[Sportal]

I like Randle. There have been a lot of doubters with him, so I wish him all the best. Even if he plays for the Lakers and their annoying fans.

[dubeta]

Hopefully the Lakers build their offense around him, instead of appeasing old has-beens

Yeah I agree with you. Probably has something to do with it. Especially when they used the words "blowing people away"
