After a ‘Wasted Year,’ Lakers Fans Should Be Excited About Julius Randle



Julius Randle has spent this season on the shelf due to an unfortunate broken leg suffered in the first regular-season game of his career. While Randle showed flashes in summer league and the preseason, Lakers fans didn't get a chance to see their new rookie in action this season.

Watch as Bleacher Report's Kevin Ding examines Julius Randle's lost season never and shares what the rookie has been doing to prepare for next season in the video above.
