Deep dive on Julius Randle with Cranjis Jul 06, 2018

Show notes

On today's brief episode, we talk about the Pelicans newest addition, former Laker power forward, Julius Randle. The 7th overall pick from Kentucky enjoyed a productive year last season, and surprised everyone when the Lakers renounced him in favor of signing Rajon Rondo to a one year $9 million deal. The Pelicans then swooped in and immediately signed the former Wildcat to two years, $18 million (player option). Cranjis (T1M_NBA) of Forum Blue and Gold joins us to talk Julius Randle and what he may bring to the Pelicans. Subscribe and rate us today!
