Julius Randle With Massive Double-Double In 37 Minutes
7 years agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle recorded 27 points with 11 boards and five assists in 37 minutes of action on Sunday. Kyle Kuzma (hand) only lasted 10 minutes, so Randle took advantage of the opportunity. Like teammate Jordan Clarkson, Randle is also a candidate to be moved before next month's trading deadline. A performance like this will spark more interest around the league. Despite averaging 13.6 points and 7.1 rebounds on the season, Randle is still just ranked No. 176 in nine-category leagues. His steals (0.5), blocks (0.8) and turnovers (2.3) hinder his value, as he may really need a new home to fully break out. The Lakers have mishandled his minutes all season, which is why he may need to come out of the gates firing on all cylinders, otherwise he may not get minutes at all. However, this performance is a nice reminder that Randle could be a nice fantasy asset, as he just needs to be more consistent.
