The Los Angeles Lakers want Julius Randle to have the freedom to push the ball himself after a defensive rebound.

"I told him every time he gets a defensive rebound, I want him to push it," Byron Scott said.

Randle has always handled the ball a lot.

"I've been doing that since I was little," said Randle.

"It's who I am. Naturally that's who I've always been -- been able to do everything on the court, effect the game in different ways. Naturally that's just who I am."
