On Tuesday night, Julius Randle scored 19 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and dished 11 assists in the Los Angeles Lakers win over the Memphis Grizzlies, becoming the sixth player in the league to record more than one triple-double this season. The others to accomplish this feat: Russell Westbrook, James Harden, LeBron James, Draymond Green, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, not bad company to be in.
His play this season has been inconsistent, but when he is on Randle has been a devastating whirlwind of speed, skill, and brute force. Players who are 6’9” and 250 pounds simply shouldn’t be able to move the way Randle can, but things really become unfair when you factor in his strength, which causes defenders to bounce off of him like bullets hitting Superman.
