--->His body is so far away from NBA ready and he is just not a consistent shooter right now.
That is a fallacy. If this is true Manute Bol wouldve never played 1 second in the NBA--I shook Manute Bol's hand[which was the biggest I have ever seen] his arms were like a praying mantis--as thin and as long that it reminded me of someone who had an eating disorder. That being said how come guys like Reggie Miller Rip Hamilton etc.. are so good? Randolph will put on 10-15 pounds but he is already wiry strong--if he was so weak--why did he lift just as much weight as Brook Lopez? If this kid works hard he's going to be an all star level basketball player. He brings so much to the table for our particular type play--he brings shotblocking a guy who can intiate the break off the boards a guy who can play that shaun Marion 4 role at some point. There are question marks with some players. With randolph all he has to do is work hard and he'll be a very good player. He's unique and could be a special player. In terms of consistency shooting--he's already a good shooter hes got nice form---practice and hard work --that is it. He already has all of the skills and he has some mental toughness==he is not a chicken. I know there are some really nice choices up to 12-13 or so but I think we would regret not taking him.
I agree. If you got a potential all star big man who can play the team game and both ways and is skilled, you HAVE to take him. It's not worth giving up on him just to dump a contract. And if he's gone, then you still have the Westbrooks and Joe Alexanders available, and they are more worth it to me anyway. I am keeping pick 6.
