LAS VEGAS — Before this week, Julius Randle and Gregg Popovich hadn’t really crossed paths.
Other than four games against one another last season, Randle and Popovich were pretty unfamiliar with one another.
But in three days at USA Basketball training camp, Popovich — the head coach of Randle and the rest of the USA Select Team — has been pleased with the way the 21-year-old carries himself.
“I didn’t know him at all until he got here, and what I found out is he’s got a great sense of humor first of all,” Popovich said on Wednesday.
