Do we need to bench Randolph?

[azfreak]

I'm really tired of Randolph doing nothing on the court. He can't score or defend.

And the team played better without him in the lineups

[TJ74]

Absolutely.  He has not played well for a number of games.  He does not play defense.  I would give his minutes to Barcello and Doutrive.

Like that's gonna make a difference...

At least start Barcello or DD just to see how Randolph plays coming off the bench.

Must of been reading my mind, or I was reading yours. Something needs to change for that young man.

Not sure which came first here. Randolph struggling or Miller getting on him about team play and the quality of shots he was taking. Doesn't look like many plays are being run for him and he is struggling when they are. Not everyone can be big shot Bobby.

Unless Randolph indicates he is not going to be part of next years team, as it looked like Kobi did, keep him on the floor to work through it.

Why not.  Try something new at this rate.  Nothing has worked the past 6 games and we don't know when we will get Williams back.  What's the worst that could happen? We lose?

With the regular season being practically over, yes.
You know what he can do when he is on, but he is not and hasn't been since the start of PAC-12 play.

I'd go as far to say start AB, give DD his old minutes and let Randolph play whatever minutes you would give DD for that game.
We all thought he was NBA bound after this season?
Not the way he is playing right now, which means we are going to be seeing a few departures after this season.

I guess my big question is what made him fall off?  Started out the season, along with Williams and Luther being red hot.  Both Luther and Randolph fell off, Williams struggled through a bad time, but worked through it (until he got hurt), Luther is coming back, Randolph is still in nowhere land, but again what made them fall off?
