Kentucky’s freight train freshman who bullied the glass
In the 2013-14 season, Julius Randle was Kentucky’s engine: 15.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 24 double-doubles while starting all 40 games, plus he set UK freshman records for rebounds and free throws made[1][11]. What made him pop wasn’t just the numbers—it was his NBA-ready power, relentless rebounding, and ability to create second-chance chaos, even though he was a limited perimeter threat and not a three-point shooter[1][12]. He looks like a fit for any team that wants toughness, production, and interior force.
