Randle could end up being not only our best power forward of all-time but also one of our best players of all-time. It's going to be a fun year watching him perform.
Randle competes and plays like an animal on the court. He has the size of a lion, with the heart of one to complement. He loves to attack the basket and smells when opponents fear him. Unlike Wiggins, who has been criticized for the lack of a killer instinct, Randle definitely won’t have this problem. He will keep going and keep attacking until he’s satisfied. The guy is fearless. That is an attribute you can’t teach and something that’ll help Randle in his NBA career. What he lacks in athleticism, Randle picks back up with his strength and aggression.
Randle has drawn comparison to Chris Webber, but I prefer a Kevin Garnett comparison. Much like Garnett, Randle prefers the face-up game rather than being on the block. That being said, he can still play with his back to the basket. Just the aggression both bring to the court makes them comparable. Imagine Garnett against Randle in the future — that will be one to watch for. Both have “never say die” attitudes, something that is very rare in today’s game.
Randle’s skills make him a top notch NBA prospect. He has completely dominated the high school level, too strong for other forwards on the block and too skilled on the perimeter for forwards to contain. Randle will have to put in a ton of hard work to truly become successful in the NBA, but he has all the tools to do so. It will be interesting to see how Randle adjusts to the college game at Kentucky, where he will be facing people who can handle him. This is a big year for Randle. Make sure to keep an eye on him and the Kentucky Wildcats.

I saw that in what little I saw his games back in the late spring during teh so called NAtional HIgh school basketball championship! He has heart, a motor that don't quit. He's big, strong, and athletic! I've always liked him more than Wiggins. That was before either of them announced!

I think in the end Randle will be the better of the two between him and Wiggins. Wiggins will have to live up to the hype of being the #1 overall recruit going into this season, whereas Randle can go out and dominate and not worry about the pressure.
