When Julius Randle is playing at his peak capabilities, he’s a problem for just about every team in the league.
Describes as a “genetic giant” by assistant coach Jesse Mermuys (who works closely with Randle), the fourth-year big man shifted into his highest gear in Saturday’s win over Dallas.
Back in his hometown with his mom sitting courtside, Randle racked up 23 points and 15 rebounds, guiding the Lakers to their fourth straight win. He was particularly dominant in overtime, providing key plays on both sides of the floor.
The Lakers hit five shots in OT, and Randle was prominently involved in four of them.
