Three years ago, Kobe Bryant viewed Julius Randle as Lamar Odom in a Zach Randolph body. While more appropriate comparisons have been made since, it did aptly describe Randle in a nutshell: A bruising beast who possesses enough ball-handling skills, passing savvy and finesse around the rim to be a reliable key cog in a high-paced offensive attack.
Standing 6’9 and weighing close to 250 pounds, Randle is built like a rugged Mack truck and he enjoys utilizing his imposing physical attributes to overwhelm opponents of all sizes inside the paint.
