BALLER MOVE: Target Around 65 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 88
ANALYSIS: I was one of the fantasy GMs with plenty of Julius Randle shares last season. I can't complain, but I must also say that Randle was frustrating at times, even more on DFS contests than in re-draft leagues. Why? Because of consistency issues, and a pretty bouncy set of outcomes from one day to the next one.
As I said, though, Randle is a must-have player in season-long leagues as his overall numbers through the year were much better than his current ADP suggests. Randle should be more of a fifth/sixth-rounder rather than seventh/eight-rounder as fantasy GMs are making him these days. Randle was the 15th-best player among all eligible at PF and C thanks to scoring 2,449 total FP through the season (38.3 FPPG average).
Randle is more than durable. He played 64 games, averaged 32.5 mpg, and he finished with a 38.3 FPPG mark. Only nine players were able to do that in 2020. If we factor in his 19.5 ppg and 9.7 rpg, that list gets down to... two players: Nikola Vucevic and Randle. While Randle shooting might scare you off (the fg% is a little low for a PF/C), the truth is that Randle stretches the floor and attempted 3.6 3pa last year: only 18 players with PF/C eligibility did so, and Randle averaged the 6th-most FP/min among those at 1.18 per minute.
