Julius Randle Triple Double 18 Pts/13 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (2/23/2018)

It caught me way off guard when I checked Julius Randle’s stats this year and saw he was only averaging 2.4 assists per game. It seems like every time he has a good scoring game, he’s also having a good passing game. And, obviously, I’m coming fresh off making a highlight video where he gets…

Ivica Zubac 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/23/2018)

Ivica Zubac has crossed over into the fabled category of players who shoot over 60% from the field. Unfortunately, he hasn’t had enough field goal attempts this season for it to really mean that much other than he’s played well in the games where he actually gets a non-trivial amount of minutes. After scoring 19…

Julius Randle 23 Points Full Highlights (2/15/2018)

I was told, repeatedly, that Julius Randle was going to be traded. Yet the trade deadline is long past, and Randle is still in a Lakers uniform? If the Lakers hated him so much (as also has been claimed repeatedly), why didn’t they take a second-round pick for him and move on with their rebuild?…

Ivica Zubac 19 Points Full Highlights (2/15/2018)

After his multitude of great performances last year, I was fairly hyped for Ivica “Zu Alcindor” Zubac, and I think it’s fair to say that a ton of other people were as well. He wasn’t amazing or anything, but he was a young big with plenty of offensive potential. I knew the Lakers were going…

Brandon Ingram 21 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)

Brandon Ingram stood at a fork in the road in his career. On one road, the sign read “Giannis Antetokounmpo”, the other, “Kevin Durant”. Ingram shrugged, remembered how messed up his jumpshot form was, and stepped confidently onto the Giannis path. For real though, those Durant comparisons were probably only based on how skinny he…

Julius Randle 20 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)

Somehow I got the idea that Julius Randle scored more points than this. I got to the end of the game, he only had 20, and I was like “what”, because I thought he had a few more than that. Oops. Not going to throw out all the work I did, though, so here you…

Kyle Kuzma 23 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)

Kyle Kuzma hasn’t exactly hit the rookie wall, well, maybe he has a little bit, call it the rookie speedbump if you want. He’s still scoring at a decent rate, but it’s decidedly less decent than what he was doing at the beginning of the season. Lots of single-digit affairs after those 30-point games he…

Brandon Ingram 22 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

To my untrained eye, it appeared that Brandon Ingram was actually, really, truly acting as the point guard for large stretches of this game. Whether he did more in that role than bringing the ball up the court and initiating the offense, I couldn’t tell you because I’m not about to waste valuable highlight-making time…

Julius Randle 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

The trade deadline has passed and Julius Randle’s lumpy face is still on the Lakers. And now, with Larry Nance Jr. sitting in Cleveland crying tears of pure joy, there’s very little competition for power forward minutes. This is the perfect opportunity for Randle to play himself into a big contract; I mean, even if…

Julius Randle 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/6/2018)

Time is running out for the Lakers to trade Randle as so much of their fanbase wants. But every game where he undeniably contributes to a win just makes it harder for anybody in the front office to pull the trigger. Take this game for example: he FEASTED on Dragan Bender’s Euroey softness with some…
