    That's the beauty of tanking for this draft... not even a loss in the lottery results (top 3) can hurt the team that "wins" the race since the 4th pick of the draft is going to be terrific.

    I love at the end how he gets triple teamed and still calmly knocks down his post shot.

    Are Wiggins, Parker, Randle and Smart the consensus top 4 right now?

    I missed his game, saw much of the 2nd. Randle is impressive. The comparison to Z-Bo sounds reasonable, just hope Randle is a better guy than Z-Bo was at that age, and later.

    However, and ain't there always a however, he seemed to get away with many offensive fouls, elbows/pushing off with his off hand, and walks. He appeared to give up his pivot foot.

    Those kind of calls tend to frustrate the hey out of young bigs in The Association.

    I'll take him. Or Wiggins. Or Parker. Or Smart. Or...etc etc

    That is a Zack Randolph if I've ever seen one.

    More lateral quickness.

    20 10 player in the league. No doubt about it. Not a superstar tough.

    Hate the Zbo comparison they reaIly are not alike. Frame nothing alike n Randle more athletic. Also Randle has better handles which he will display more as the season progresses. In Randle I see what Michael Beasley was at K-State

    Please define superstar, and how this first game ever in college that means anything at all on a national stage determined, to you, that JRa will never be one? Thank you.

    This draft is going to be one of the greatest of all time.
    Wiggins and Parker look like born superstars.
    Randle might get there too. He plays 90s style basketball. Zach Randolph-esque.

    Randle with another double-double (10 points, 15 rebounds) against Robert Morris this evening despite constant double-teams. I was impressed with his unselfishness, as he took only nine shots and made several nice passes to set up his teammates. If he's to be a primary scorer at the NBA level, it's imperative that he becomes comfortable passing out of double-teams. From the looks of things, he may already have that part of his game down.

    Looks very average imo. Those are Dwight Howard level post moves. Won't work on NBA defenders.
