Julius' per 36 are stronger on a scoring basis - but Lee's best per 100 are very much stronger- probably in part due to the better teams he was on.

I like Randle long term for our team. these past couple games, he has willed us to victories.

I there with you on this

My biggest concern was Randle with Robinson, but it seems like Payton and coach miller have helped to fix that issue. I saw some advanced metrics somewhere that they are a net positive on the court together.

I have faith that if you give Coach Miller enough time, he'll get the best out of our players, and that players like Randle, Robinson and Morris can all coexist, play off each other and support each other.

I hope we keep him (Miller). He is so perfect, he's like JVG 2.0. He is the anti-Fizdale, there is so little polish and just hard work.

We haven't had this kind of coach since Woodson and maybe Chaney.

Randle's talent and type of performance made it hard for all the Lakers coaches to find a fit with Randle and teammates in a lineup. Lakers receive 4 lottery picks in Randle's 4 season as a Laker. Plus last season coach Gentry won the Number-1 draft pick "ZION" trying to fit Randle & Payton into lineups having Holiday & AD.

The Knicks GM & Coach should have known they needed to resign DeAndre Jordan before signing Randle !!!

David Lee were a complimentary player that fit well in a lineup with all his teammates.

Randle is paid like a complimentary player. The question is does he compliment? I wish he was better defensively but he's not useless there, he's physical and great on the boards. Randle isnt anything magical but he's a good player, productive and def looks like he could be part of a winning team. Also looks like a good teammate, coachable, accountable, good worker... after a bad start for everything I like what I see from Randle under Miller. This is the guy we signed up for.

He just looks more comfortable in the role he's in now, Nothing seems forced
