Along with Jabari Parker, Randle is the other prospect who is declared as the most physically ready for the NBA. ESPN’s Chad Ford describes Randle, via USAToday.com:
When you look at the motor that he has and the NBA body that he has and his ability to rebound, those are attributes that NBA GMs salivate over.
Randle is not the best prospect out there, but he has the physicality NBA teams salivate over. Even though the Utah Jazz have Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors as big men, Julius Randle gives them more strength in the shaded lane. BleacherReport.com describes the scene:
Randle would come into Utah and compete to start at power forward immediately, providing a physical presence in the paint while being able to bang down low, rebound and score.
Randle plays like Zach Randolph, with a little Lamar Odom, and that versatility at the 4-spot is going to dominate the paint, something that a Marvin Williams can’t do. Utah was 23rd in the NBA in rebounding, despite having Favors and Kanter. Having Randle on the team will change that drastically.
Randle sets greats picks and is ideal for both pick-and-rolls and pick-and-pops because he can finish strong and hit the mid-range jump shot. Trey Burke should have more assists next season if the Jazz are lucky enough to nab Randle.
Remember that Utah built its best team ever around a star whose physicality was like Randle in Karl “The Mailman” Malone. Let’s just hope that the Jazz get Randle in the 2014 NBA Draft and that he can deliver the title that Malone didn’t.
