Could Randle fall to #9?

[Dorian Gray]

Rumors starting to pick up that he'll need surgery and that could drop him down the board some.

 

 

@WojYahooNBA
Multiple teams considering Randle in and out of draft lottery have his medical info and expect him to have surgery on foot. It is an issue.

 

 

@NBARumorCentral
Even if Julius Randle does undergo foot surgery, don't expect him to slide past No. 9 on draft day.

 

Would you take Randle if he's there at 9?  Still wouldn't have any perimeter shooting, but Randle is a big-time talent when healthy.

Easy answer for me.

 

Yes.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Randle just did not impress late in the season for me..KYseemed to flourish in the tourney when they limited his touches. He is good but i rather get some of the perimeter talent in this draft.

Like i said the best value at #9 should be either a PF or overseas player. I want the best player @ nine, don't care what spot he plays. The other two gimme a wing and walker insurance.

I would love Randle here.  But this could also open the door to a team wanting to trade up to get him

Yes but Cho will pass on the "risk".

He will fall...we will draft McDermott...I will end up in an alcohol induced coma

If Randle is there at #9, either pick him and trade him to Minnesota for #13 and a player, or try to trade #9 to Minnesota for two of their four picks this year.

Why would we trade a gem that fell in our laps?

im not sold on randle... and even less convinced if he has a red flag due to an injury. i like the suggestion of trading back for an additional asset if he falls to us. id be much happier if the hornets picked adreian payne - even though he's older, im sure he can come in and contribute straight away and compliment big al.

[Rise of The Hive]

I'm sold enough on him at 9.
