Predict Julius Randle's Regular Season Stats

[DFish24]

I say this year he averages 17/9/2 on 47%FG.

[Proctor]

15.5 pts/8 rebs

[Cocaine80s]

He can't even average that in summer league

[AboutBuckets]

13/7 on 42%, foul trouble preventing him from getting as many minutes as he could

[NugzFan]

Around this sounds about right.

Sounds about right imo. If lakers fans expect him to be an immediate big impact guy I think their in for a rude awakening. Think he'll contribute but won't be great.

[Fallen Angel]

6 ppg
4 rpg
1 apg
45 fg%

He also isn't starting over Brandon Bass

Julius Randle will play about 20 MPG during his rookie season (even though it technically isn't his rookie season), which is pretty normal for a player of his expectations

[Braincells]

10/5 on 45% shooting.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Hard to say really. I can see those overprojections and him going like 17/9. But I can also see him getting just 12/7, even at playing 36 mins/game.

It all depends on how that backcourt is at getting him the ball and if Hibbert stays the same player he is. Just comes down to how much he (Randle) is needed.

[Fallen Angel]

If you think that Julius Randle is better than Brandon Bass then you're obviously retarded.

I'm not retarted.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

If you think that Julius Randle is better than Brandon Bass then you're obviously retarded.
Or perhaps we think he'll still get minutes WITH Bass? Since, you know, Hibbert sucks. Why can't Randle and Bass play together? Bass has started at C before.

Brandon Bass? :yaohappy:

at center? :yaohappy:

IN THE WEST?! :yaohappy:

I think they see some minutes together. I also think Bass is a decent comparison for Randle in the future.

[RRR3]

9/6 on 46%

I was almost gonna give your posts some credit. But clearly you forget Draymond has played C, Ibaka has played C, JJ Hickson has played C, Jordan Hill has played C, Reggie Evans has played C... all while in the West. or maybe you just don't watch basketball?

It's call small ball, dude. Happens a lot.

[raprap]

9/5 in 23 mins. He clearly won't start for them. He's sharing minutes with Bass and Nance.

[Fallen Angel]

Green can get away with it because the Warriors have shooters and ball handlers that allows their offense to flourish while their defense lacks help in the paint.

Ibaka can get away with it because he's a premier shot blocker.

Jordan Hill, J.J. Hickson, and Reggie Evans all played for losing teams.

You can't just throw two big men that aren't great passers, don't stretch the floor, and don't protect the rim like Julius Randle and Brandon Bass together and then expect wins to pop out your ass. Those two on the floor together is barbecue chicken for whoever is protecting the rim whether it's DeAndre Jordan, Dwight Howard, or Rudy Gobert.

You can play them together, but expect a bunch of Ls on the schedule to follow.

And what do you think the Lakers are this season?

Losers.

[FireDavidKahn]

He isn't averaging 17ppg :oldlol:

With Kobe on the team and Russell, he will be lucky to average 12

[Cocaine80s]

Randle is starting

I heard him say Bass was coming off the bench when he was interviewed during the summer league game

[gts]

Mitch and Scott have both said in the last couple days said that Bass and Randle would be competing for the starting spot

[KNOW1EDGE]

Bass can most certainly play a little bit of center for the Lakers. No question there, no debate necessary.

As for who is better right now at this very moment in time? I'd say Bass has a slight edge but that could change by mid-season if Randle shows up.

Anyways, I'm thinking Randle plays about 24mpg and averages 12 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block per game.

I don't see superstar potential in him, but I see fringe all-star every year and a solid career for him.

[Genaro]

9/4/2 on 46%. He still has a lot to go before he can have a impact in this league. I just hope he stays healthy and Byron plays him as much as he can. This season isn't about wins. It's about developing the young guys and see what they can give us.
