Julius Randle wants to get into ‘the best shape of his life’ and be ‘a beast’ for the Lakers

Heading into the final season of his rookie contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, the focus of Julius Randle’s exit interview with head coach Luke Walton, general manager Rob Pelinka and team president Magic Johnson was simple.

“Just laying out a plan for the summer... skill stuff I’ve got to work on. I think the biggest focus this summer is just coming back in incredible shape,” Randle said, adding that he wants to be a “beast.”

The left-handed four has also received criticism over the course of his career for his lacking right hand, one of a few weaknesses he wants to address over the off-season.
