NBA ROLE: SKILLED POWER FORWARD
Z-Bo is as real as it gets up front – undersized, power-finesse big w/ an immovable base – been tough to deal with for 18 years; since State, Z-Bo’s been a gifted low-post & face up scorer – establishes himself early by grabbing, moving & even bowing his opponent from time to time…but it’s an elaborate set up – Randolph frustrates his matchup into making defensive mistakes like no other (once you’re at a disadvantage, a lil lefty hook or 'strongman' hook is coming); can’t jump over a phone book, hasn’t ever needed athleticism to be effective – Randolph’s jab step, combined w/ a patient approach, produces nice results; remains a strong rebounder and inside presence (should teach a clinic on how to keep the ball high after securing an offensive rebound), though efficiency is starting to waver a bit; smart defender, though limited; high quality vet in SAC
