I like Anthony Randolph. I have a short video of him in my crap-tastic video mock draft at #8: Part 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=AIxBas1hdx0 Part 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rUxywINHGHM I personally don't think he will be on the board when we are up but if he's there then I take him in a second. He's a 6'10 SF who has excellent ball handling skills, good jumper and decent range, he's athletic and I think he can contribute right off the bat next season. He be a nice fit if we plan on trading RJ in the offseason and can eventually ease him into that role. Only 18 years old!
Thanks for the video links guys, that was my first time being able to see some game footage. I had always viewed Randolph as an undersized big man (mass-wise), who would have to develop wing skills on the next level. I was pleasantly surprised to see that he played much more like a wing player than a PF, and looked very impressive (but then again, it's a highlight mix for a reason).
i really love his game as well. reminds me of lamar odom. a player like him is so rare, 6'10, offensive and defensive factor. arggh... him, or kevin love
I originally wanted no part of him, but now he may be my favorite prospect among those that may realistically last to 10

I don't care that he weighs 200 pounds. That crossover on the break plus those under-and-up reverse dunks blew me away. He'll never last til #10. Never. My fear is that the evil Knicks take him.

Tons of draft prospects in high quality video. You should make a new thread about this resource (and please don't sticky it unless you want to guarantee no one will look at it).
