two of my favorite players and power forwards in the league
as a big they are both mobile , can shoot well from ft and 3, have some handles and passing ability, can rebound and play decent defense
both coming of one of their best career seasons,
who would you take rn, Kristaps Porzingis or Julius Randle?
some quick career stats just for reference but their stats last year were generally better:
Kristaps Porzingis
19.6pts | 7.9reb | 1.9ast | 0.7stl | 1.8blk | 1.7tov
Julius Randle
18.7pts | 9.4reb | 3.6ast | 0.7stl | 0.4blk | 2.8tov
who u got?
Obviously some level of bias here but KP can’t stay on the court which has to factor in here massively. KP has played 60+ games twice and other than this year the last time he did it was the 16-17 season.
Randle has played in 70+ games every year he could and he’s been in 80+ twice. I think the ceiling on KP is probably higher but you’re very unlikely to see that and Randle has shown hes a star player. I think you gotta go Randle
Also like… he was on the wizards. Other teams aren’t trying as hard.
Three times.
This is fair, but beware - KAT played 77+ games the first 4 years of his career, including playing in all 82 for the first 3 years, and after that he went 35-50-74-29. Which is to say that past durability is NOT indicative of future durability.
