I like his handle and penetration skills. His outside shot needs a lot of work. He tends to drift to his strong hand, his left, which tells me he needs to work on his strength.

In terms of BPA I don't see a guy at 6 who would be considered more of a BPA than Randolph. He has more potential than any of the guards and fits this system perfectly. He can guards bigs or smalls he can play 3-4 hybrid
he's got great ballhandling skills for a very lengthy 6-10 and you can see his agility mobility and athletic ability. I don't see a player CLOSE to him for THIS system at 6 and unless Kevin Love showed some kind of dramatic change Randolph should be the runaway choice at 6 imho. It is very rare to see a 6-10 player with his kind of skill along with his athletic package. He's 6-10 but handles the ball like a guard--he can go in out he can guard 5-1--I HOPE that we are serious about LONG term improvement instead of shot term fixes. We should be better this year but to think we are one point guard away is assinine and these guys who have come in to manange the team have to know that. This has to be a three year approach--getting the BPA in the draft regardless of position for this style of play and making the pick

At 197, I think he'll have major problems guarding 4's and 5's.

Is Josh Smith a decent comp?

Randolph has to be the Knicks pick @ 6. Nobody has his skill and size in this draft. Nothing really more to discuss.

If everything runs smoothly and beasley, rose, mayo, love, and bayless are all picked? Anthony Randolph has to be the Knicks pick.

Edit: Joe Alexander is still very intriging. His athletic numbers were awesome. He is built like a horse and more nba ready......if he was the pick I wouldn't be mad at all either........still this Gordon guy has me nervous as hell.

Two things baout the weight. He's 18 years old. I have never heard of weight being a factor in anything in the NBA. Marcus Camby was 6-11 185 pounds when he went to Umass and probably was no more than 210 when he came into the nBA.

i think a good comparion could be chris bosh any one...does any 1 see that? same body type althtetic maybe we could devople his game he onkly 18 an has alot of potencial

No feel for the game, has trouble finishing inside and has to be a three in the NBA. He doesnt guard inside at all and will spend his first year in foul trouble. For someone with this high of skill lever 46% in college 10% from three point line and 3 turnovers doesnt excite me

Ive went from 6 foot 170 lbs at 18 to 225 lbs now. I think hell have no problem putting on quality weight as he gets older. Worse comes to worse we do have Fat Eddy and Fat Q and Fat JJ on our team. Im sure they can show him the way!

If that is the case then he may never get to eat again. We all know that Eddy, Q and JJ are the reason for the food shortage going on in the world.

Briggs we will see if this guy averages a double-double, and shoots 55% from the field. Havent heard much about the all star center from Nevada lately hahahah. One of us is eating a huge plate of crow. How is this guy not going in the top 3?
