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?

I don’t know how you don’t say Randle.
Porzingis might have the better statistical season, but Randle has had more impact years where he’s made his team better.
That doesn’t necessarily mean I think Randle is a player I want to build around or anything, but he’s had 2 actual legitimate years where he improved his team and made them matter. That’s two more than Porzingis ever had.
How would the bucks say randle? You playing him at the 3? Surely the bucks would rather have KP for lopez insurance since the man is definitely gonna regress soon
Not sure how you are measuring impact, but impact metrics favored Porzingis significantly more than Randle last year.
KP’s health is a huge issue, but the one year he was healthy the advanced metrics would say he was better than Randle.
Kristaps. I think a healthy Kristaps is capable of being the 2nd-3rd best player on a championship caliber team. I don’t think any version of Randle is capable of being a top 2-4 player on a championship caliber team. He’s too much of a black hole on offense, I think his ideal role on a contender would be off the bench.
No one is winning a title with Randle as their best player. At least there is a chance with KP
Depends on the team around each but I’d pick Porzingis in most situations and think he is overall the better player. Obviously the better shooter, better defender, and more malleable.
Randle easy. The perception of KP and what KP really is are two different things
Hilarious seeing a lot of Celtics fans who have never watched KP vigorously defending him
The best ability is availability. Randle is always playing and always giving his sweat blood and tears. He is very passionate, and hates losing, so he does have his moments, but when he is on he is unstoppable.
Boston would rather have KP but Randle is 100% the better player
