"It's like looking in the mirror a little," Odom said of Randolph. "He's also 6-11 (actually, they're both listed at 6-foot-10), he's left-handed and he can put the ball on the floor. He's two times as athletic as I was at that age.

"He should set his goals high. He has All-Star potential, Hall of Fame potential, with that size, his ability to put the ball on the floor, he can shoot the three, he can pass. If he stays focused, the sky is the limit for him."

Randolph played Odom pretty physically during the night, even going for a brief ride on Odom's back while vying for a rebound midway through the third quarter. Randolph said playing against Odom gave himself a peak into the future "to see what I can do once I get more experienced in the game."

"He's a great player, and someone I looked up to growing up," said Randolph, adding that their in-game chatter was all "fun and games."

Even more praise for Randolph came from Nelson: "I hope he continues doing what he's doing to stay out on the floor. In practice, he's staying out of trouble and doing what he does best, and when he does that, we're going to play him more and more."

I love when teams actually play up and coming stars. They're giving him the chance.. go for it Randolph.

Unlike Orlando and J.J.Redick.. they killed him.

Good to see Nellie having some good words for Randolph. I remember earlier in the season Nellie told Randolph that he should request a trade.

This kid is the truth.

not much activity, but AR is probably my favourite rookie in the league. didn't see a gamethread but the kid led G.State in rebounding tonight (10) w/ only 14 minutes playing time....... that is rediculous.

Biedrins finished w/ only 9 in nearly 3x the minutes.
