NBA Free Agency: 5 Best Power Forwards Available in 2018

#1 Julius Randle

With a better three-point shot, Randle can be the NBA's next great "point-forward"

The Lakers' summer plan for the 2018 offseason might be the most star-studded one since Miami's in 2010. Names like LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and others circle around the Staples Center.

However, guys like Julius Randle, a Lakers' free agent, might pay the price. Randle didn’t have a consistent role in the Lakers lineup; he switched from bench player to starter, power forward to center and his playing time could have gone from over 30 to under 15.

But even with that inconsistency, Randle still had the best season of his career. He averaged 16.1 points and recorded his career-best defensive and offensive ratings.

Even though his three-point shooting still needs an improvement, Randle is a forward who can put the ball on the floor, create for his teammates, defend a variety of positions and play the center on a small-ball lineup, perhaps the second coming of Draymond Green.

If the Los Angeles Lakers will renounce Julius Randle in their attempt to build a super team, most NBA teams will consider making him an offer.
