Julius Randle is one of the best young rebounders in the NBA

Julius Randle's complimenting his developing offensive skillset by cleaning up the glass, and he's one of the best young rebounders in the NBA through a month of play.

Julius Randle pulled down a career-high 19 rebounds against the Washington Wizards but looked like he had at least 40 more in him if the game kept rolling. He came up with seven offensive rebounds, and when the Lakers needed every point they could muster to avoid blowing a 19-point lead, keeping a missed Kobe Bryant jumper alive was one of the key sequences L.A. needed to fend off Washington.
