NBA: Ranking the top 10 restricted free agents of 2018
5. Julius Randle, Los Angeles Lakers
Stats: 16.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists
Julius Randle quietly had an impressive season a year ago with the Los Angeles Lakers, and may or may not be a big part of their future. Los Angeles has big plans for the summer and their free agents – fair or not – are going to have to wait.
The Lakers will likely make big free agent pitches to LeBron James and Paul George, and if they have it their way might not have room for the likes of Randle – and Isaiah Thomas, who’s an unrestricted free agent.
Question is, will Randle wait around for the Lakers?
