Whats that, have a highlight dunk en route to shooting 6/15 with 8 boards while his team loses the game? This kid could be the next Keyon Clark! :rofl:

(once again, I don't hate Anthony Randolph, but the hype machine has got to stop)

Grab some rebounds against the suns, shoot two long jumpers, post up Steve Nash, and get a dunk in transition?

I'm speechless, I haven't seen a talent enter the league like this ever.

People have said randolph just gets easy pts from passes, can't shoot, can't drive to the basket well, ball handling skills overrated, can't create his own offense, etc. so I just posted proof that he can do those things.

He shot a crazy runner, a long jumper, and got a transition dunk.

Youtube is a terrible way to prove your case anyway, but at least use a highlight reel that is really impressive, Randolph has some good ones.

You're either ignorant/mistaken, or just lying about this. It's painfully obvious to anyone who's seen him this season that hes added weight and muscle definition. Its been commented on during warriors games recently as well. Did he put on 13 pounds, i don't know.

You've seen him in college, are you seriously telling me you can't see any difference?

Definitely not in his lower body.

You can just tell at looking at his stick legs.

I've been watching him a lot lately, and you guys are really exaggerating his finishing ability. If its not a dunk then its a finesse layup or a little pull up/floater. He struggles mightily with finishing strong when there's contact.

I agree with this point, he does have trouble finishing after contact. I'm not too woried though;as he puts on some weight and gains some experience that should improve, as he seems to have shown pretty good touch (minus that missed slam :lol:

)

As for "stick legs"...is that what the kids are calling them these days?

Doesn't look any bigger to me, 13 pounds would be a huge change on that thin frame.

I could buy a few pounds, but I don't see much.

Michael Beasley shoots 44% on 2-point jump shots while Anthony Randolph shots 34%. What was that about AR having a really nice mid-range jumper?

J-Rich- · Post #432 » by **J-Rich-** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 3:39 am

look up that number for the last few weeks

What does that have to do with Randolph's jumper? Go look at Beasley's numbers for the past few weeks, I'm pretty sure you'll be more impressed.

This guy would know better than all of us. Now you guys can't use the "OMFG HE WON'T GAIN ANY WEIGHT!!!!" argument.

There's no way.

It's physically not possible for someone that skinny to put on that much weight during an NBA season due to how much running they do.

J-Rich- · Post #436 » by **J-Rich-** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 4:37 am

There's no reason for him to lie about stuff like that

Post #437 » by **NO-KG-AI** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 4:50 am

There is no reason for me to lie about my 12 inch penis either.

I SERIOUSLY doubt hes put on 20 pounds.

He does however have NOTICEABLY more muscle definition than when the season started.
