I did what I almost never do last night. Watched a bit the Wolves preseason game. I wanted to see how Randle looked, mainly. Verdict from this extremely small, meaningless sample? I think it can work. He looked smart out there. Remaining in the flow of the offense, blending in well. The offense had good movement with and without the ball while he was in there. Probably more so than with Towns to be honest.

The key will be whether he buys into a team concept all year. He’ll no doubt start out as a good soldier. I just hope in the dog days of the season he doesn’t start counting shots and moping when he doesn’t get his share. If they’re winning that kind of takes care of itself. Complaining when a team is winning just comes across as selfish.

Another thing going for them is Finch seems to really like him and it seems to be mutual. That can go a long way.

Everyone says that Randle is a black hole. He replaced KAT while an efficient scorer wasn't the passer, ball handler, and when a play needs to be made in the playoffs.
