Anthony Randolph has quietly become one of the NBA’s most exciting and dynamic rookies. He’s gone unnoticed in large part because he plays for the lowly Golden State Warriors and his coach seems to be conspiring to ruin his already fragile psyche. Randolph is 6’10″ with hops and handles. On just about any other team (save Boston and the Lakers) Randolph would at least garner 30-35 minutes a game. Playing under Nelson, who disdains rookies, his playing time has no correlation to his skill or better yet potential.
It’s getting to the point where I almost want to see him traded so I can at least watch him play for a team that values his unlimited potential.
Let’s face it until the dollar recovers this will continue to happen. Think about this from the perspective of a European player playing in the NBA. Most of them would probably rather be closer to home and play for a league where their team members actually play like a team and play every game as though it matters instead of worrying about their stats or if their getting enough respect from the refs.
This is just another in a long line of problems the NBA is facing. Madness predicts Stern will do nothing. What I really want to know is where’s the tipping point for Yahoo to come out with Fantasy Euro Ball!?
