Say we pick around 6th and Randle is available.  Danny has traded for Asik or Monroe already.  Say it's Monroe and he starts alongside Sullinger.  For most of the game, Sullinger and Monroe are going to take turns playing center and the forwards would be Green, Wallace, or Randle.

Can Randle play alongside Green?  Can he play power forward with Sullinger playing center or is that lineup too short?

Would we be better off taking a SG that we value slightly less than Randle but they fit the lineup better?

Randle is a bust. Stay far away from him.

Don't like anything about his game. Nothing about him screams Allstar..

Yes he is agile, and quick. But he relies mainly on his strength, and doesn't seem to have anything near the basketball IQ that Sully does. Also from the games I've seen Randle seems to get a lot of uncontested rebounds. And some of the boards he grabs seems to be his own misses.

I don't like how he plays, and honestly he isn't worth the sixth pick. DA should wise up, and if he can't get anyone good enough, try to package it for a superstar or Allstar.

Randle has no BBIQ, lacks any great post moves, and seems to have on and off games. Nothing about him screams superstar or Allstar that ESPN in the early few weeks of Collegiate basketball were exclaiming about.

You take the best player available, if that's Randle you take him. I think Green would be a good fit next to Randle. Randle could post up and open space for Green to shoot open corner 3's.

I don't think Green and Sully would really work well together at the same time, but if Randle is better than anyone available you have to take him anyway.

Randle lacks post moves? He has the best post moves out of the entire class. Rebounding is one stat that translates most directly from college to the NBA and Randle can rebound. He is like a more athletic Zach Randolph (albeit with a shorter wing span).

You think Randle has the best post moves in the entire class?  What post moves?  There is nothing skilled about him in the post. He almost never attempts a jump hook or a turnaround jumper.  He pumpfakes and pivots a lot but they mostly result in him putting up one handed push shots with his man all over him.  He tries to play bully ball in the post, which is not going to work for him the pros. 

Embiid and Parker have much better post games.  Embiid can shoot with both hands and turn over both shoulders.  Parker is even more skilled.

Kind of agree on the general Randle assessment - he's definitely stronger than his competition at the moment, and there's diminishing returns on that end.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Well, if Ainge manages to trade for Monroe or Asik (blah for both), you're assuming he's going to pull it off without trading Green or Sullinger, which seems unlikely.  There's goes the log jam right there.  If Ainge however manages to pull your trade off, I don't see why Randle at PF and Green at SF couldn't co-exist.  It would have to because Randle isn't a small forward.  Further, it seems unlikely that Green will be here beyond his current deal so any questions about them co-existing doesn't seem worth it.
