Jerome Randle - Kicking ass at Portsmouth Invitational Pre-Draft Camp (TOURNAMENT MVP!!!!)
Jerome Randle, 5’10, Point Guard, California
18 points, 7/13 FG, 2/5 3FG, 5 Rebounds, 10 Assists, 4 Turnovers, 4 steals
Jerome Randle was a revelation at the point guard position, putting on a scoring clinic while showing advanced vision and passing abilities, helping his stock as much as any player in attendance thus far. He was by far the most skilled offensive player in attendance.
His stellar three point shooting stroke is well documented at this point, as he shot 42.1% on more than 500 attempts over his last three years at California. His release looks very quick and he has infinite range. While his shot selection was questionable at points during the game, his skill as a shooter is undeniable and as he gets stronger, he should only continue to improve.
He also thrived in mid-range opportunities, using his lighting quick first step and ability to stop on a dime to knock down numerous pull up jump shots. He did struggle finishing around the basket initially, which largely was due to his lack of explosiveness and strength. His instincts, body control, and creativity around the rim allowed him to finish effectively by the end of the game.

Randle First Team All-Tournament
Finally, Jerome Randle is, by all indications and reports, a very high character individual who has overcome obstacles on and off of the basketball court throughout his whole life. He has been a leader on the court throughout his career at California and possesses tremendous intangibles that were evident at Portsmouth and that should carry over to the next level.
Most scouts we spoke to are very high on Randle and the consensus was that he put himself firmly in the draft discussion through his performance at Portsmouth. While he played well and helped himself more than any player here, Randle will have to continue performing well against bigger and more athletic point guards in private workouts if he wants to maintain his draft stock.
NBADraft.net: Jerome, I know you didn’t get the win today, but you did pick up the tournament’s MVP award. How does it feel?
Randle: I’m always happy about getting individual awards, but most importantly I really wanted to go out and get the championship for my team. I was a little under the weather, I wasn’t feeling good at all and they kind of took advantage of that. But, I’m happy about the way we handled adversity. A lot of guys probably didn’t think we were going to win a lot of games, but we played together as a team and I was really happy about that.
