Talkhard

As a Blazer fan and a longtime observer of Zach Randolph, I can promise you that you are getting an amazing offensive force. On some nights, Randolph is simply unstoppable--and he has an amazing knack for getting off tough shots in traffic. You're gonna love the offensive production you get from him.

On the flip side, he clogs up the offensive flow something awful. His signature move is getting the ball on the right side of the lane, swiveling to face his man, faking (and faking again, and again), and finally driving or putting up a shot. It was painful to watch in Portland, because all of our other guys stopped moving and just waited for Randolph to do his one-on-one thing.

Also on the flip side, Randolph is lazy and uninterested in defense. As quick as he is on offense, he is slow as molasses on defense. He won't stop anybody, believe me.

The off-court stuff may never become an issue, who knows. But I wish you well with Randolph. He'll give you some thrills and help you win some games, but I'm not sure his positives outweigh his negatives.
