Julius Randle spinning and hitting mid-range jumpers against Jazz

Julius Randle is still developing his offensive game -- the rookie is only 19 years old after all -- but he had his mid-range game clicking through the first half against the Utah Jazz.

Randle will have to work on building a consistent jumper, but he finally got one to drop against Utah, hitting his defender with a hesitation move before pulling up to drain the shot:

Randle's ability to drive from the perimeter is handy if he an force defenders to play him tight and close out on shots. It's still a work in progress, but he can still use his soon-to-be-patented spin move to create space and get buckets, as he does here against big man Rudy Gobert:

More of that, please.

He left the court in the middle of the second quarter, but there's nothing to worry about. He was just getting his feet re-taped by Gary Vitti, according to Lakers sideline reporter Mike Trudell. Exhale, everyone.
