Julius Randle jump shot video

Just a unfiltered original unedited tape of Randle shooting around. I personally think you can tell way more about someones shot with a tape like this over all the mix tapes we watch.

I am really high on Randle. I can tell many prefer Gordon on this board, which is completely fine, but i think some of that has to do in part about his jump shot. He took 7.3 ft atmpts per and made 71%. He tailored his game to do what was in the best interest of his TEAM. So just because he didn't show his mid range jumper, does not mean he does not have one....

Thanks.


also I like to look at Kevin Loves draft express profile and freshman stats and Randles together, it is very interesting

Also from the same workout, they tested his vertical and it was 38 inches

An interview with him said since the combine he's lost 4 percent body fat

Does anyone have any info on how credible the big laker invitational workouts are.

Pretty sweet release. Dude's got some upside given the all around size / athleticism combo.

I think Brad Stevens could get this kid to the next level.

There's a lot of hype for guys like Gordon, Vonleh, or Smart, but Randle was projected in the top 4 for most of the year. If he's there at 6 it would be hard to pass on him.

I think this guy is going fall far(not because of his talent or lack there of) and into the hands of a team that probably doesn't deserve him & doesn't really need him and he'll be a big time contributor for them.

my main reason for seeing him drop is most teams are looking for potential all stars at least in the early half of the 1st rnd. I just don't think he'll ever be an all star but a solid player.

I thought this was a pretty poor showing, actually. The form didn't look repeatable, the follow-through was inconsistent, and the footwork didn't seem fluid. He won't be a great jump shooter in game situations with what he's got right now, although it can certainly improve over time.

Yea, the main knock is mid range game and defense. But at Kentucky he played in a system of very talented players and he was also dominating down low...so no need to go outside.

Yikes! Randles form is terrible. His release point seems to change every time he shoots and he doesn't shoot with confidence. Awful footwork, travels multiple times throughout the video. That doesn't change his potential, but his game still seems like it will be average at the next level.

Wouldn't be surprised if Philly grabs him at #10 if not I think Orlando for sure takes him at #12.

[Celtics18]

Anyone think he has the potential to play small forward in the NBA?

No way.  It's almost guaranteed that Julius Randle will get drafted with one of the top eight picks.

In high school he wanted to and often played beyond the three,,,but as he got bigger and better he started playing down low.

As one of the biggest Gordon homers around here, I've been warming up to Randle the past few days.

I think he absolutely can be an All Star.

The thing to remember is that he faced more double teams than anybody in college basketball last season. In the NBA, he'll be surrounded by better shooters at every position, so he will see less double teams.

His quickness is indeed underrated, and he is going to put up a lot of efficient points in the NBA, and get to the line a lot.

I was a little put off by his energy level that seemed to wane for long stretches when he played big minutes last year. The key with him I think is to play him in 5 minute stretches like we used to do with old KG. This way Randle can play all-out, his defense will be better, and he'll know a rest is forthcoming.

In short 5 minute stints like this, I think Randle could even play some minutes at SF. Part of the reason I'm so high on Gordon to Boston is because Gordon is already awesome scoring around the basket, and with Sully and KO spreading the floor, Gordon could play a Power 3 role on offense.

Well, I think Randle could also play that power 3 role in short minutes against certain matchups, and just crush SFs in the paint and on the boards.

Randle could also play some minutes as a small ball center in an uptempo unit, so there is a bit of versatility to Randle.

I'd be happy with quite a few guys at #6, and Randle is certainly one of them. Even as a rookie he is going to surprise and impress with his ability to put up lots of points, and he could definitely be a 20/10 guy in short order.

Id bet tp's that he does not go past 9
