I know I'm reading too much into summer league highlights but Randle is more like a ZBO and Odom hybrid rather than just having ZBO as his absolute ceiling. Randle could simply do things that ZBO isn't capable of doing.

Definitely looks faster than ZBO ever was. Crafty with the ball. I like.

Randle plays nothing like Odom at all. And he isn't as offensively skilled as Z-Bo was at the same age. They just have the same type of body.

grant hill said his game reminds him of anthony mason. or at least his ball handling does.

He's good with a full head of steam because of how big and strong he is, but his handle is pretty overrated.

Charles Barkley with less athleticism

Or is he Derrick Coleman? Or is he Anthony Mason? Or is he some other large, left handed black man?

I hope he becomes a good to great player soon. He seems to be really good. He could be the next Gasol/ Shaq to Kobe. I am so excited.

guys.. hes charles barkley without the jump shot

and if anything. this is a blessing. i'm glad he won't be settling and will drive the ball every time or pass. he has a the exact same scoring moves inside as barkley did. same soft touch around the net. same ability to dunk when you don't think he will.. same full head of steam drive and dribble. same ability to rebound and run the break. same nba ready body as a rookie

he is sir charles reincarnated. i just hope he doesn't get fat/ lazy later on and ring chase like fat butt did

Only similarity with Odom is that he really likes to go left

He sure likes to dribble. He can be sloppy with it though.

I like the Derrick Coleman comparison. Hopefully not the work ethic though.

Athletic Boris Diaw

(coming from a Diaw fan. I know he is made fun of on here but I think he's a brilliant player)
