Some players are even scared to say it\u0026nbsp; but you know me \u003ca href\u003d\"https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/quinn-cook-jersey-c-23.html\"\u003ehttps://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/quinn-cook-jersey-c-23.html\u003c/a\u003e, I’m not scared to say anything.”\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFirst, “Julius Randle with hops” sounds like a real life Monstar, ready to pack up all the Looney Tunes for a trip to Moron Mountain. Randle currently holds the KU freshman record for double doubles with 24 from his lone college season in 2013 2014. I’m sure he had to hop up and grab a few of those rebounds.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eAdd to that the fact that Randle is coming off clearly the best year of his pro career. He averaged 21.4 PPG and 8.7 RPG in his first season with New Orleans, all while shooting 34 from 3 point range, up from 22 last year.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eKanter, meanwhile, averaged just 13.1 PPG with 8.6 RPG over 23 games with Portland last season.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eRandle caught wind\u0026nbsp; \u003ca href\u003d\"https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/luol-deng-jersey-c-22.html\"\u003ehttps://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/luol-deng-jersey-c-22.html\u003c/a\u003e of the slight and reminded Kanter that he may want to keep the big man’s name out of his mouth or learn to play some defense, an area Kanter has struggled with throughout his NBA career.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eAs for Zion, that’s not a bad rookie stat line at all. Early projections for his rookie year put him at 18.7 PPG, 8.7 RPG, and 3.8 APG, not far off of Randle’s production. Personally, I think he’s closer to 22 PPG as his outside shooting improves as it did toward the end of his lone season with the Blue Devils.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThis will certainly be a fun match up to keep our eyes on as the NBA season gets underway. Will Zion follow in Randle’s footsteps and hang 45 on Kanter \u003ca href\u003d\"https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/grayson-allen-jersey-c-4.html\"\u003eGrayson Allen Jersey\u003c/a\u003e, or will those extra hops net him a few more points?\u003cbr\u003e","threadId":49307,"likeCnt":1,"createTime":1562297304000,"isWorkbook":false,"viewCnt":1382,"openness":2,"fav":false,"id":1267,"trustable":false}
