Julius Randle

[Tom Izzo]

Checkmate on what? I think Randle is a better player than Westbrook at this stage in their careers. I think his general impact and awareness is simply just higher.

Randle averages more points, rebounds, 2 fewer assists (as a PF btw), slightly less turnovers, is the #1 option (vs Westbrook being #2 or 3), has a higher LEBRON rating and a comparable overall RAPTOR.

Other advanced categories:

Box LEBRON: Randle
Wins added: Randle
Usage: Randle
TS: Westbrook
PER: Randle
Rebound %: Randle
Assist %: Westbrook
Steals %: Westbrook
Blocks %: Randle
Turnover %: Randle (lower %, not higher)
OWS: Randle
DWS: Randle
WS: Randle
WS/48: Randle
OBPM: Randle
DPBM: Randle
VORP: Randle

I included EVERY advanced stat I could find because there are several of you who like to laugh at people who include advanced stats you don't like

Tom Izzo: “I don’t care how bad his advanced stats are, 20/10/5 is not an 81 rating. “

The Sly Politician: “Sir just 5 weeks ago you literally posted a thread rating Westbrook an 80 averaging 18/8/7 on better efficiency”

Tom Izzo: “Yea but have you seen his advanced stats???”

[Andrei Kirilenko]

Also like… aren’t Westbrook’s advanced stats better?

Westbrook has a higher RAPTOR and better TS. Randle has better EPM but is the third worst PF in LEBRON.

Tom listed out PER, Win Shares, and BPM, which are literally useless, to try to give Randle more categories.
