7 years agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle posted a double-double on Sunday, finishing with 17 points with 10 boards to go along with five dimes. He connected on seven of eight from the charity stripe, which was a surprise since the Lakers are absolutely terrible in shooting free throws (68 percent on the season) as a team. He's still surrounded by trade rumors as we approach the trading deadline, and a trade out of Los Angeles could really set him free. He's still hovering just around the top 150 because of inconsistency issues but has played very good basketball lately. Randle won't get many defensive stats like steals or blocks, so he's more of a poor man's Blake Griffin. Randle has only four blocks in the whole month of January, as it really diminishes his upside coming from the center position.--Dicky Fung
