Julius Randle scores 17 points in Lakers' loss

Los Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle scored 17 points against the Toronto Raptors during a 105-97 loss on Thursday, adding 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 7-of-10 shooting from the field.

What It Means:

That's two great games in a row coming off his 16-point effort on Sunday. Randle is getting more involved in the offense and has created some space from the other Lakers bigs on offense.

Randle had his rookie season halted abruptly thanks to a fractured tibia in the first game of the regular season. For fantasy purposes, Randle isn't much of a shot blocker, and he's subpar from an efficiency standpoint compared to other starting power forwards. He's going to have a hard time providing much value this season.
