Julius Randle's Breakout Season

[@BlueValco]

Randle was a beast this season

[@ericmata3728]

I want him and Brook back too. A center than spreads the floor so that Julius can abuse power forwards all night. Love it. With Julius as our full time center we would miss the rim protection

[@cjvangin]

part of rim protection is perimeter defense. randle is a great post defender so bigs wont kill him. if hes ur full time center you just need good perimeter d

[@ericmata3728]

Cj Vanginkel i agree but you can have both with a real rim protector and julius at the 4.

[@babyblueLEGEND]

+Eric Mata Fact. Julius is a natural 4 who can play center.

[@Ph3nom1998]

I never truly noticed how much he pushed the guys around in the paint... He even gets AD fucking moving...

[@theophilussparks5839]

nice

[@stevesalinda5270]

One of the revelations for me this season beside the steady improvement by the young core was your spot on analysis. Every Laker fan knows that Julius was a beast this season but your comparison between last year and this year really drove that point home. I agree with you, I think the FO would be crazy to let Julius go; pay him the money and let him beast it up again next year. Thanks again for the informative and exceptional analysis this year Pete.

[@TheBorderJumper17]

He was ABUSING every Big in the League this season. Congrats on making yourself unexpandable JuJu. Can't wait to Buy your Jersey after you re-sign

Jace Taylor ayyyy same

[@josuerivas3729]

Same here lol

[@MrLaughs4you]

are you pre med bro?

[@Mattykim]

great analysis Pete. I love Julius, but I couldn't stop laughing when you showed that montage of lobs to ghosts at 15:00

[@BASKAHOLIC]

Appreciate the work you put in for Laker fans around the globe, Pete!

[@robertmelgar5157]

Wanted to let you know never really comment on vids but you are my favorite all time so i just had to share and show some love the amount of detail and info you give is next level bro can't wait for the next upload. I know it aint easy would love for you to make more vids but i also understand the amount of work you put into each vid so not a complaint just would rather watch you talk about my team than anyone else

[@robertmelgar5157]

*love

[@blueberryst20]

I'm never been so hyped to watch a LFR video!

[@VlogwithKing]

Was so excited when I saw you had a new video up!

[@ericpark9983]

we are gonna severely regret letting him go if we dont sign him this offseason

[@TheSurfrer1]

Wrong, he's a loser not a winner.

[@airzone2332]

Always been a big fan of randle hopefully he keeps improving could end up something special.

[@johnorona99]

His improvement on screen setting has been really huge. It looks like that extra weight room work hasade him seek out contact more

[@danadouglas2674]

Super nice breakdown, Pete. Thanks. Really quantifies Randle's improvement. Makes me suspect, though, that he's pretty near his ceiling.

[@RMV1560]

Man I can’t watch this and not want Julius back more than I already do

[@jogi0907]

a new vidoe! thanks pete

[@Donaldburger]

Imagine how awful it would be to guard him 😂😂

[@grantrmoore]

He is our best player. Resign him ASAP!

[@TheSurfrer1]

Laker Nation needs to be educated. He suck on defense. Poor energy.

[@grantrmoore]

John Davis U need to educate yourself! 1.1 bpg 0.7 spg per 36mins that is totally acceptable.. He is at a length disadvantage but if u watch the games u can see situations where his strength is working to his advantage on both ends of the floor.. He drains whoever he is matched up against..

[@xaviertorres118]

intro was fire dog

[@raiders2011able]

Love your videos man 👍🏾💯

[@jabariparis9697]

wish 2k would notice how godd of a defender he is

[@pookyman12]

Love it keep bringing the Heat!!

[@RecautionsTv]

Finally somebody praises him

[@CH3ST3R16]

Thanks coach Pete.

[@jerellhurtado9486]

Damn we’re going to miss Randle, he woulda been the perfect small ball 5 for this team.

[@prometheus3498]

I don't know why, but there is something about his jump shot that makes me confident that he can improve it so that he is at least a 33% shooter.

[@ericaugusto758]

Arash Akbar yep, and he doesnt even need it anyway A mid range game would be more than enough and give him more option offensively

[@diaquinone]

I hope he will be back next season too, Pete.

[@rodneysnextchapter615]

Hope your right about him being back next year.

[@Miquitzli]

5:07 against Ojeleye??? Amazing

[@superfreak3050]

PAY THE DAMN MAN

[@MrKevpeg10]

Make more consistent vids please. This is what got you all your followers

[@salgeezy]

I hope Lakers retain him and he continues to make improvements in his game this summer. We’ve seen players perform well only to fall back into complacency after a contract renewal. It’s going to be an interesting offseason.

[@pvgebruhh]

wish he was this good in 2k

[@IMZ_AlphA]

WE GOTTA START PARADING OR SOMETHING SOONER OR LATER COS THEY GOTTA PAY JULIUS COME ON DAMMIT #PAYJULIUS

[@princekurtmontales2252]

RESIGN HIM!

[@TheSurfrer1]

Not happening. Magic can recognize the clutch gene and Randle doesn't have it.

[@ryanrules35]

awesome vid

[@splashnskillz37]

Now he just gotta learn to finish with his right hand, shoot 3's consistenly and defend better

[@theophilussparks5839]

No ..3's are a luxury for a PF,, He needs a reliable 7-15ft jump shot. That way he'll almost guarantee nearly 30 Pts a night . This is something any shooting coach could help with.

[@HespePaladin]

Good job for a kid Pete

[@TheLakeShow]

Randle earned my respect. He sulked in the beginning not being a starter and i thought he was better off the bench in a limited role. He was avging under 20 mins and 13pts, 8 rebs or so shooting 56% and dominating still. THan as a starter damn killed it and put up 16.1pts, 8 rebs or so, on 57% shooting. He should of started all along. I was wrong on him being an energy player and LNJ wasnt that much of a deference on D. Randle needs to be resigned. Hoprefully its at a reasonable price like 15 mil annually but we'll see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJvXd4irjd2trdU #CantHandleRandle #Bully

[@cjvangin]

all good except 16.1 and 8 was randles total averages for both bench and starting randle as a starter was at 18-9-4 on 57%

[@TheLakeShow]

Cj Vanginkel thx for the correction.

[@nathanli1461]

finally a new video !!!

[@mrgor24]

re-sign as long as it's not on ridiculous money

[@burntoast4269]

Yo bro love the channel cover all that butter

[@Stefaunr2]

Whats the name of the beat? Shit fiye🔥

[@jaze1427]

The enforcer 💪

[@tennesseemoltisanti8860]

nola gonna treat him right lol

[@justinchu5174]

Someone send this to julius

[@Miquitzli]

Fucking Juggernaut at 5:13

[@EZee213]

To me, the most frustrating part of Randle's game - other than his inconsistent effort - is his tunnel vision. Way too many times - like you said - JR has his head down, bulldozing his way to the rim, drawing that gravity, without so much of a pass. It's as if he has his mind made up that he wants to score no matter how many defenders are on him. If he takes what the defense gives him , pass and shoot when he should, everybody will be better for it. He's a smart/intelligent young man, but that doesn't always carry over to the court it seems.

[@theophilussparks5839]

What games where you watching,, you mean JR Smith, Julius assists number where better the second half, Unless you're referring to the early season Julius Randle, yeah I'd agree with that

[@EZee213]

You can cite all the stats you want, that still doesn't discount what I said. Try actually watching the games and not the numbers.

[@indo42O]

PAY THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tongliu0314]

Did the Lakers team watch any of your videos?

[@M3333C]

I hope you'll enjoy watching the Celtics dominate for the next several years while u make draft scouting videos and judge the potential of role players !

[@TheYeeway]

You can bet your bottom dollar that he is not coming back next year. 1. Lopez is a much more compatible front court player; 2. Kuzma will play the starting 4; 3. You can get Jeremi Grant for 5 mils and work as a backup 4, or Nerlens Noel for 5 mils as a backup 5. 4. Clippers will keep either Harrell or Jordan, therefore, Harrell for 10 mils or Jordan for 22 mils; 5. The only reason the Lakers put up with Randle this season is because he and Paul George share the same agent.

[@theophilussparks5839]

See the Yellow crack promo I posted. Julius is a Jump shot away from being an allstar. You really don't want your PF to jack up that many 3's. Besides he's a better finisher around the rim, and a shooting coach could easily help him develop a reliable 8-13 Ft Jump shot. That makes him around a 30 point a night player. If you have doubts,, you don't know basketball (it's really that simple) because at that distance it's all basics, just like park league.

[@TheYeeway]

Randle 's terrible defence discipline and functioning as a black hole on the offence end go way apart from Luke Walton's basketball philosophy. The only possibility that Randle resigns with Lakers is he is under 12 millions /year which makes him a decent bargaining chip on the table in the future. If you have doubts, let 's bet. Loser deletes his youtube account.

[@theophilussparks5839]

Randle's defense was admiral, considering the injuries, and lineup changes. What games where you watching ..??, besides he ,Julius guards and plays all 5 positions... Something Grant or Lopez or Kuzma can't do.. (or Draymond , or PG-13 for that matter)..

[@jacksondowdle5217]

Are you on Synergy?

[@ixeethe13th48]

I really love the Lakers to resign Randle, and that means also they could possible resign Lopez, but if we Lure Cousins here even tho he's injured and i wish he'll be healthy thid july, damn we will have the best frontcourt on the Nba.

[@Matt-cj5us]

1:48 whack a mole

[@TheSurfrer1]

He's an under achiever. Only plays defense intermittently, can't show up to practice on time, and lacks leadership skills. They won't bring him back but only for a short time to sign and trade for Kawhi. LakerNation has become accustomed to losing. Sad state of affairs, but don't fret, Magic will not tolerate losing.

[@derrickandresol5478]

Contract years lol

[@안진성-t8i]

Derrick Likes NBA Its just his 3rd season. Its morw like natrual progression of development

[@rejones1977]

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm not a fan of re-signing Julius. He's improved drastically, but not to the point where he would merit near max money. I think Dallas is going to offer him around 18/yr and we shouldn't match. He still has too many shortcomings, specifically not having a consistent jumper, not being able to finish over size, and not being able to pass out the double team. He also has a habit of making bad decisions/turnovers at the most inopportune times. But the biggest reason I don't want to sign Julius is because of Kuz. You can't play him at the 5 full time, and Kuz is too good to keep on the bench for another 3yrs

[@austinnixon542]

Robert Jones kuz is a one way player Julius’s all around game right now is far to valuable to let walk away let’s be honest I don’t think kuz can be a starter at the three or four until he fixes those defensive shot comings that could be two or three years away

[@austinnixon542]

Robert Jones idk about the Dallas thing right now mark Cuban is in so much hot water that he may have to look to smell the team if any more bad press comes out about him and how they run that team. And if that happens I don’t think new ownership want to commit to a 80 million dollar contract they didn’t give out. Plus I think Julius will resign at 14~16 million a year I think he wants to stay but wants to feel like he’s a priority and part of the foundation of the team

[@austinnixon542]

Robert Jones also as much as I like kuz I’m not in love with him at the point of saying he can replace Julius’s impact if we lost. Also a lot of kuzmas best games other than the rockets game he shared a lot of time on the court with Julius whether it was small ball or they were playing big with kuz at the three and Julius at the four

[@BigPoppaSmoove]

What do you mean he can't finish over bigs? He shot 75% in the paint

[@danielcoppola3051]

Austin Nixon Kuzma is without a doubt a starter in this league he averages 18 as a stater and is only a rookie. His only weakness this year was his defense which will improve.

[@raheemmaddox7777]

I spent 80% of this video giggling at how Ju just bullies the shit out of everyone on the block..😂 It's not even funny.. It's kinda sad to see grown men dominated in a fish bowl of eyes😩...Nah, fuck em, it's still funny !😊

[@bettercallsaul8065]

If we can resign him to a reasonable price that will be great but no way we should throw max money at him or even close

[@cjvangin]

his max is 25.5m he wont get an offer over 18m

[@morrisrespector779]

Laker fans really talking like it's a privilege to play for this team.. (In recent years) Yall 100% don't deserve him here. I really hate to say that but it's the truth. I hope he gets to leave.. I have a feeling he'll break out even more soon.. Situations mean everything.. Just look at Oladipo.. He's 25 now and no way did we see what he's been doing in Orlando or OKC.
