I Honestly dont feel like he’s had enough reps against Luka to make a judgement on that. I know he missed one of the games against us last year.
From a skillset standpoint, Randle has a bigger body to take away the post game but I just dont see him moving around screens well enough to really guard him for multiple possessions. Should be able to hold up well enough on occasional switches though.
I thought Kyle Anderson could legitimately guard Luka better than lot of players you’d consider better defenders. He can get skinny around the screen, has good strength and length, and most importantly is very disciplined with dealing with all the fakes Luka puts out there.
Kyle Anderson plays at the slower pace that Luka also plays at. It’s why Looney was so good against Luka as well. Fast players fall for his hestitation moves, these dudes fall for his hestitations so late that they are suddenly back in good guarding position at the second hestitation
It was bizarre watching Looney fail into guarding Luka during that WCF. Several times that Luka put three moves on him by the time that Looney got in position for the first. But his reaction to the first would end him up in good position for the third lol

Same exact thing he did to harden a few years earlier.
Running 4D chess by skip processing the extra movement and just chose to stay put LOL
Hahaha it’s so funny and true
