Randolph in thick of Nellie plans, set to break out

When it comes to having a breakout season, Anthony Randolph is well on his way. He says he grew almost an inch to his current height of 7-feet and added 15 pounds since last season ended.

 

Watching him at the Las Vegas Summer League last month, I swore Randolph was growing between quarters. He was dominant in Vegas, teaming with rookie Stephen Curry for an assortment of dunks and alley-oops that must've made coach Don Nelson and GM Larry Riley glad that Chris Mullin refused to trade Randolph before he was pushed out the door in Golden State.

 

"I really thanked the organization," Randolph said. "I talked with them a lot during the offseason and they told me how much they wanted me to do. But it's also understood that I have to work hard and continue to grow and get better as a player."

 

The concept of Nellie-ball changes by the minute, but one thing is clear: Randolph will be right in the middle of the action for the Warriors. His 7.9 points and 5.8 rebounds should increase considerably with more playing time, as will his 1.2 blocks per game. Randolph's shot-blocking translated to 3.2 blocks per 48 minutes.

He was 6'10. He is 6'11 right now, but a lot of people are saying that he is 7. I think the fact is though that he is 6'11 and a half lol.
