Better Than Boozer

by Gerald Henderson on Jul 16, 2009 8:04 PM MDT

Have you been watching the Vegas Summer League? Anthony Randolph (turned 20 yesterday) has been going off. This guy could be the breakout player of the year. Air-Apparent to Tim Duncan as best power forward in the West. That's right Mavericks fans, or Suns fans, or Lakers fans. This guy is better than Carlos Boozer, better then David West.

Randolph has All-Star potential this year, if his lunatic coach doesn't get in the way, again.

The difference will be that most of the guys and teams I mentioned will be in the playoffs while Randolph might be watching the postseason at home, waiting to turn 21.

i've wanted him on the jazz since i saw him play...

against the jazz last season. given our defense, i know he might have looked better than he actually is (kind of like birdman and his 8 blocks against boozer/us), but regardless, the kid is long and athletic which is exactly what we need.

Easy Gerald Henderson,

You know who else scored 42 points in a summer league game and who scored 47? Marco Bellinelli and Anthony Morrow, also of the Warriors. Some guys can score lots of points when the competition sucks. The Summer league is a terrible indicator of true NBA talent. Randolph is good, but he is a poor rebounder and probably will have a similar season to last season. But your excitement was really fun.

The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.

Actually

Morrow had scoring games of 37 and 33 in NBA competition during the season. He shoots a really high 3pt %. As for Belinelli….I think he has the potential to be a really good scorer in this league.
