Lastly though, I have seen Melo-Randle comparisons, and I do think they're stupid, so please don't tell me I'm stupid for comparing them. Thank you.

I'll tell you one thing - Andrew Wiggins ain't no Shaquille O'Neal. I don't care what ANYBODY says! No way, no how.

But can we all at least agree that Jabari Parker is no Mookie Blaylock?
More Spud Webb than Mookie
I just had to figure out where I heard the Melo-Randle comparison, and this is one place:
http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.c...sp?CID=1443049At Nike's LeBron James Skills Academy in July, the 6-foot-9 Randle was measured with a 6-foot-11 wingspan. While that isn't terribly lengthy, the five-star senior from Plano (Texas) Prestonwood Christian doesn't exactly have T-Rex arms either.
Comparisons for Randle are tough, and I've heard Carmelo Anthony (especially because of the wing catch sidewise, face and attack move he favors like 'Melo), some people use Zach Randolph, some have used Chris Webber and I've even heard some Glenn Robinson (Big Dog, not Trey) comparisons. I haven't settled on a comparison I like, and I can see all of those. Looking at him at the NBA level, I think the biggest question that some have is whether he has enough straight-up explosiveness to be a reliable finisher around the rim and in traffic. He's clearly a very good ball handler, quick, has straight-line speed, loves contact and will rebound.
Also something from bleacherreport, but that doesn't count. I'm not crazy guys, just inebriated.
Edit: let me sum it up best. I've never heard one time any major media outlet make a randle-melo comparison. It's been Parker-melo comparison tho by almost every outlet. Not sure where that came from. Rivals does high school kids so not sure why'd we wanna check them when looking for a guys potential from college to pros. MM said it best. Wiggins def ain't no shaq. Same thing. Lol

He reminds me a lot of Derrick Coleman tho.
I always thought Randle reminded me of Steve Kerr! lol
I'm not sure about the Randle to Melo comparisons, but the Embiid and Iverson comparisons seem like a reach.
Just had to prove to myself that I heard it somewhere. lol
You at least have to admit that Embiid stole Iverson's moves.

To be fair, I do see a lot of Wilt in Exum's game.
This thread has turned epic!!! Lol..good job Hercules!! Hercules!!! Hercules!!! Hercules!!!!
I for one look forward to watching Aaron Gordon run point for the Sacramento Kings.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Who in the world once compared Randle to Melo? (Besides OP)
Links have been provided bro. Well, link has been provided. You know where Google is.

Don't really consider a player's production in the tournament or whatever all that important. Not ever player is Anthony Davis. Some guys are Paul George, need time to become elite.
In any rate, wouldn't need Wiggins to come out the game like gangbusters anyway. We have our gangbuster already. Wiggins would just need to do everything Aminu does but not suck at it initially.
Completely fair.
Just from watching the Duke-Wichita State game, I got young Zach Randolph vibes from Randle...nimble big man who will make a living for his play down low.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Kentucky-Wichita St. Yes, I agree with you. He reminds me a lot of Randolph.
Had we had a tiny bit of luck (just a tiny, mind you) our record would be a lot closer to 50% if not up there at all and no one would be waiting in terror for us to give the 76ers the 6th pick and have them taking a future HOFer. I have to say, i've watched a ton more NCAAB than any other year (which means more than 1-2 games, yeah) and i can't say i was much impressed with the top players of this draft class. Maybe they'll turn out to be spectacularly good, i'm not a scout or anything like that, but this draft was called the best one since the lbj's? Yeaahhh....no. A player from this draft would have done us good for sure, but i'd rather holiday myself
Considering I have heard Doug McDermott's name mentioned in the area we would have been picking in, I'm pretty stoked with the trade.
Obviously Randle isn't no where near Melo's game, yes he resembles Zack Randolph, but he will be better than him in my opinion
Could Doug McDermott possibly be a white Melo?

According to Chad Ford, Saric won't be declaring this year either.
