Anthony Randolph Blows Up | TigerFan.com

For the fourth time in five days, Warriors big man Anthony Randolph went berserk at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas.

This afternoon, he tied a Summer League record as he dropped 42 points on the Bulls. Previous record holders include Von Wafer and Marcus Banks, who both went for 42 in 2007.

Randolph's dominance this week can't be overstated. The scoring exploits are impressive, but Randolph has been at it defensively (12 blocks and nine steals in four games), on the glass (8.5 rebounds per game), and passing out of double teams with poise and precision (zero turnovers today). Randolph isn't only the primary scorer on the floor, but the most creative facilitator.

It's tempting to say that he could still use a little bulk, but his physical presence both in the paint and defending the perimeter with that lanky frame are bothering anyone with the temerity to challenge him.

he and Stephen Curry can make one of the best 1-2 punches in the NBA in a few years.

They are both perfect for that Golden State system.

Agreed. Brandan Wright is a sleeper, too. Or at least gives them six more fouls from a lanky dude.

Yep, and just like another Don Nelson PF in Dallas, he's mentally soft as a pat of butter. I think Curry is a killah though.

nice use of the word 'temerity'
