While LeBron James was making his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, Julius Randle was on the opposite side of the country wrapping up his own first game with the New Orleans Pelicans.
After four years with the Lakers, Randle will be suiting up in a different uniform for the first time in his professional career. While many fans were hoping to see Randle back in the purple and gold, Randle told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated last week that a reunion with the franchise that drafted him seemed unlikely early on.
