Playing at Kentucky in front of 24k fans prepared him somewhat for playing for Lakers.
Said he wants to have a long career like Kobe and Duncan so is starting now.
Plans to play Summer league.
Says he could play along Pau well and learn some things from him.
Motivated by rings And wants to reach full potential.
Final thought: "I think I can do a lot to help the Lakers win."

The kid has the desire to win and on the big stage is when he shines, which was shown during March Madness, he was brilliant in that Witchitia St game. BABY ZACH!!!!!

BABY ZACH!!!!!Different players other than being lefty I think so, and I watched most of his games all year. It also depends on how the coach uses him, but only time will tell.

I watched Kentucky closely too and I'd say it's sort of a lazy comparison and Randle agrees, said today at his press conference he does his own thing and is a different player than Zach. Different personalities on court. They play, look and move differently. ZBo can't move around like Randle. Can't grab rebounds and push it up the court. Doesn't have his speed, agility, quickness, ups and can't match Randle's overall athleticism. ZBo can't handle the ball even close to as good as Randle. Julius is more versatile. Coach can't change those things.

We'll like I said we will see and I know what I saw. He wasnt bringing up the ball during the tournament, so obviously the coach had something to do with that
if people want to say millsap, I'm fine with that But starting to here laker fans compare him to Barkley now that we drafted him .... Time to put down the kool aid, lol, that he is not

Randle would probably take a dump on Millsap right now without a minute of NBA experience.
He aint a Barkley either. Again, different players. Not a fan of lazy comparisons. Gotta put down the Randolph and Barkley koolaid. There's a difference between bringing the ball up the court and having the ability to grab a rebound and push the ball up every now and then. Randolph does not and will not ever do either of those things. Nor will Randolph ever be able to move around like Randle with or without the ball or have the overall athletic package that Randle has.

I think Randle embodies the evolution of the game itself. Traditionally a kid like him would have more limited ball handling/ guard like skills. But today's kids are groomed to have more skill in that regard.

Said it better than I could 2b. If you could take Randolph and evolve him into having more ball handling and guard like skills and athleticism you'd have something close to what Randle looks like

He'll def. be more of Randolph that Barkley IMHO. Can he do more things? Sure, I guess, but again, every player is different like every person is different in life but this ain't no damn Psychology 101, lol, it's sports and people compare players. Not lazy at all. Durant reminds some old cats of Gervin. Kobe and Jordan. Magic and Lebron. Just the way it is.

Just one tournament game vs Shockers Ok, but check out these highlights of ZBO, looks like Randle to me, lol During the lockout, where he's not asked to be a big body under the paint www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrW3sk1OYtQand www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRWrtPtg8uASecond one skip to 3:35--- Zach in his younger days could move just like Randle, not exactly the same but you can see the comparisons are not hyped.
