Chris Paul, Giannis, Kemba and Isaiah Thomas and now D'lo have scored more than 20 against them.
Guys like Ish Smith, Bledsoe (and Booker), and D Rose have struggled.
So his performance against the Nets should be even more encouraging.

The point is the elite guys were great, while the other guys played ok at best or struggled.
D'lo had a great game, there's no real way to discredit that.

As long as DLo plays aggressive with energy and doesn't play lackadaisical, he is money 
Randle shutting people up hard! Had people in here ready to burn him at the stake before the season even started
Already had Nance penciled in as the starter and Julius traded for a bag of chips. Even though he averaged a double-double in his rookie year, off of a broken foot and a bum coach.
Luke got that boy looking like the truth. Next year he might average a triple double. He might real life be an alternative version of Draymond. If he ever develops a jumper or floater he will be an absolute PROBLEM.

I was a Randle Stan out of college and was ecstatic when he fell to the Lakers. Couldn't understand how people wanted Smart or Vonleh over him. He breaks his foot in his rookie year and I kinda just wrote him off & forgot about him, went all in for the 2015 draft tank.
Randle came back last year and did not impress me. Yeah he averaged a double double but I hated his game. Dude wanted the ball in his hands but would NEVER pass it, he couldn't shoot, he went left everytime, etc. It was extremely annoying and I started to hate his game.
I'm soooooo glad he's playing like this. Luke deserves a lot of props for this transformation, Kobe/Byron deserve flack for his lack of progression last year but most importantly Randle deserves credit for working hard and really really improving his game. Props to that young man for turning all the doubters into fans. I evaluate things as they happen and have no problem with people saying I told you so about Randle, but he is a much improved player from last year. I know he averaged a double/double, but he just wasn't fun to watch.
I still think I like Nance's game more than Randle but I realize that Nance does not have Randle's ceiling.

Give me the production! I don't care how you look while you do it.
If he wants to go ball in a purple dress with green hair and he's droppin triple doubles. Then so be it!

Randle is progressing like most good players do in their careers...
It's still baffling to me why people in here were writing him off after a season

At least he got a season. DLo was being written off during the first quarter of the first summer league game.

And yea Luke has definitely accelerated the learning curve/maturation process.

I never was a Randle fan dating back to Kentucky, but he's making me one this season with his play and demeanor.

Love the vibe of this squad
So much smiling and positivity in that locker room as opposed to last year
3-3 over the next six will really show everyone that we can fight for that 7/8 seed. Brutal stretch

This is a little more than progression though. The 2016 Julius plays and approaches the game completely different than the 2015 Julius.
