TripleThreat was right. There are only a very, very limited number of people over 6'7" in the world. Julius Randle happens to be one of them.

He looks like Helen Keller on skates. Honestly, he obviously can't "see" anyone on the court (teammates, defenders, refs), but I wonder if he can't even hear them.
And he moves like he can't see the ball, either.

Loses control of it way too much and that’s the biggest problem. His strength is taking it to the hoop but his biggest weakness is awareness of what’s surrounding you, which is what you need the most when you take it to the hoop!

Even when he's not making a move, he just throws the ball away. I guess he fills the stat line though, so barring some Rosey miracle, he's not going anywhere. I don't get the thinking that better players will make him better at not dribbling into traffic, at not dribbling off his feet, at not jumping into the air pointlessly, at not losing his dribble at the worst possible times...

What they ( better players) might do is open up the paint for him with their shooting so that he doesn't have to go to the spin move once he gets into the paint. Or they might deliver the ball to him when he has an at least a semi-open lane to drive to the hoop

Yes, having good shooters and passers surrounding him is ideal. With that said, it still has to be perfect. Either Randle has to post up down super duper low, which is not easy, or the shooters just have to be hot, which will not always happen. The problem is that a double can still come from any direction... and as hard as it is to guard him 1v1, it’s just as easy to double him.

I’m inclined to trade him for whatever. He needs to get away from the young players.

If he learns to pass out of the double that would be sweet. I know the NBA doesnt play inside-out anymore tho. You might be right, moving him could be good. The only thing stopping me from being fully committed to that is Z-Bo. I thought that trading him was right st the time, and then he went on to become one of the top 4 man in the league.

He also needs to stop looking off the point guard and bringing the ball up.

you think he's doing that on his own or being instructed by his coach to do that?

Combo of both. I think he’s just that type of player.
