Julius Randle has thrown down a few nice jams against the Memphis Grizzlies already, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down. The burly forward had 18 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists going into the fourth quarter, and looks well on pace for his third triple-double of the year:

It was such a nice play, he even got the Zach Lowe seal of approval:
I know no one loves bigs who can't hit 3s or protect the rim anymore, but I still kinda love Julius Randle. Dude can make plays.

When Randle plays like he did against Memphis, it’s easy to see how special he holds the potential to be.
