That guy is in MInny now because the coach wouldn't play him or work with him. Until D'Antoni is gone it is almost useless to bring in anyone over 6'9" unless they are a finesse player that shoots the three.
but when he played he didnt play well. there are reports about lack of focus. his body language was always depressing.
i argue though that maybe he wasnt a throw-in in this trade, maybe he was a necessary component. to get minny to take curry's contract we had to give up an asset.
I was surprised with how poorly he played on the court at times. However, I think he could have benefitted from some of the treatment Moz got where he was an assistants pet player. I also think D'Antoni decided in Milan that he had no room for him on his team and was very obvious in his expression of displeasure every time the kid made a mistake during his brief appearances on the court, 17 games total. Randolph is very young, was coming off an injury, is 6'11" and possesses a ton of talent. He had already produced at the NBA level. He needed to not be the guy the coach always yelled at, he needed to be the guy the coach worked with.
