Julius Randle Considered 'Surest Thing' In Draft

Nov 19, 2013 11:52 AM

Julius Randle has the capacity of being a low-post scorer and a stretch 4, which makes him one of the most promising power forward prospects in years.

Randle has averaged 20.5 points, 14.3 rebounds on 62 percent shooting in his first four games at Kentucky.

"I think he's the surest thing in the draft," one GM said. "There's nothing he can't do and there just aren't that many bigs in the NBA with that set of skills. He's going to be a 10-time All-Star and will make a major impact on your team in Year 1. Wiggins might have a little more upside and [Parker] is so attractive as well, but if you take someone else, you're really risking your job."
