I mean it's not like Porzingis has been noticeably better in the playoffs. Porzingis is basically entirely unproven in the playoffs. So sure he could be better than Randle, but I'm not sure why we'd think it's a guarantee.
From a shooting standpoint only, it’s absolutely a guarantee. Randle has been one of the worst shooting big man all-stars that I can ever remember. We’re talking an almost 60 game sample size. Yes, KP is unproven but he’s a true shooter and could never build that many houses.
Randle was getting tripled team after carrying the worst team in the league to the playoffs in the first run and was clearly injured his last run. he is genuinely one of the best shooting big man in the league
Yeah but I think the idea is that since neither have been great in the playoffs the guy you’d rather have would be the one that projects as a better candidate to take a back seat and play a role vs being the main guy
KP seems like he fits that mold better
