What are your thoughts about this guy?
The kid measured 6'10 w/t shoes at the Nike Skill Academy (via DraftExpress), and won't turn 18 until the end of next month. So we're talking about essentially what could be a 6'11/ 7'0 player, by the time he gets to the league, and the skills and athleticism he possesses for that size is flat out ridiculous. The kid has immense potential.
I love Julius Randle he has that killer instinct to be a great player and can be a number one option in a championship team... I see him being a rich man's more athletic Zach Randolph type of player... The 2014 nba draft is shaping out alot like the 2003,1996,1984 nba drafts as far as superstar pontential players... Those drafts had 3 to 4 superstars coming out of those drafts... But what separates the 2014 draft from any other forementioned drafts is the international talent on the horizon like Herzonja,Birsen,and Diop who can be eligible in the 2014 nba draft... Right now the 2014 nba draft has to be a A+ as far as talent while the 2013 draft is more of a C+ talent wise... Here is the top prospects for 2014 draft 1. Andrew Wiggins 2. Jabari Parker 3. Julius Randle 4. Noah Vonleh 5. Andrew Harrison 6. James Young 7. Aaron Harrison 8. Aaron Gordon 9. Ilimane Diop 10. Mario Herzonja
Sorry, but I can't get over how Andrew Wiggins demolished him. It was brutal. My son also saw a game this summer where Randle played against a defender every bit as physical as he was. It eventually got to the point Randle had to go all the way out to the 3-point line to call for the ball because he gave up trying to establish position. From there, he was easy to defend.

I can't wait for Callipari to retire, just because I want somebody to ask him how he managed to get so many top prospects to sign with him year in and year out...
