You know the deal, pick one and why.

Randle- 15 PPG, 10.4 Reb, 70.6 FT, 1.4 Asst, .76 BS. All-SEC (1st team), SEC Freshman of the Year, 3rd Team All-American

Bam- 13 PPG, 6.8 Reb, 60.5 FT, .87 Asst, 1.6 BS

Obviously Bam's season isn't over. I was just wondering how they stacked up.

Bam is really hurting us, he gets too many fouls and then when he plays with any fouls he literally doesn't play defense. It is killing us. This game he literally is stepping away from the play. Bam is very good, but he has been a dissapontment, our inside game has been one of the biggest reasons why UK is struggling. I would love to see the comparisons from last year on front courts.

Randle, easly.

Just a better all around player.

Bam may be the worst defensive player in the lane I've ever seen at UK.

Yeah, I see the numbers, and Randle seems to be the easy choice. But does anyone else remember that by about this point in the season every team had figured out that Julius had one move? ...right handed, into the lane, spin, fall away. Not saying Bam is doing much to create his own shot either. Juat that I remember us having issues once Randle kinda became one dimensional.

Randle for a million reasons, number 1 being how he put the dagger in U of L with free throw after free throw in the tournament. Bam couldn't do that.

Love Bam but Randle was the much better player at this point. But the season isn't over.

So far, Bam has played just exactly like all of his high school highlight films suggested he would. Hopefully, he will improve into more of a complete player before the tournament.

Might as well ask

Margot Robbie- 5'6, 26 years old, Sexiest Woman Alive 2016

Roseanne- 5'4, 64 years old, 2012 Presidential Nominee of Peace & Freedom party


Obviously Margot is hotter, but Roseanne has had a longer career. You know the deal, pick one and why.

Randle always played defense and always rebounded, he played his *** off at all times. Bam has played no defense this year and doesn't rebound.

Randle is one player during the Cal era that I think some people forget how dominant and how big a stud he was.

Randle because he has post moves, better rebounder, ball handler, shooter, bball iq, and defense.

Randle in a heartbeat.

Better question in my mind, would you take a Feb-Tourney senior Josh Harrelson over Bam the rest of the year? We all know Bam runs circles around Jorts in terms of athleticism/potential, but Jorts was a very reliable defender/rebounder with decent moves on the post. Upside says Bam everyday, but this team needs some defense/rebounding/toughness in the paint and Jorts > Bam at that.

Margot, because I'm not dead. And any parts that are, will come back to life.

Id take T Jones over Bam let alone J Randle.
Jones > Bam all day every day. I don't think Bam could score on Jones. Block his shite every time.
Honestly when I seen Bam looked like Dwight Howard I figured he'd have no post game except powering through defenders. I was right.
