The North American Anthony Randolph came to Real Madrid from the Lokomotiv Kuban in 2016 endorsed by his great season to classify the Russians for the Final Four. Chosen by G.S Warriors in 2008 he has never managed to settle in an NBA team passing through 4 different franchises. G.S Warriors, N.Y Nicks, Minessotta Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets.

Despite having a good second year as a professional (11.6 points and 6.5 rebounds), those of the bay were detached from the player in what at first seemed a mistake was shown in the long term as a success given the subsequent career of Randolph.

So after several seasons playing in the US, he decided to cross the pond to try out in Europe. After two seasons in Lokomotiv Kuban, Real Madrid signed him given his great performance in the Russian team. The first season at Real Madrid was the confirmation of Randolph as a player who fit the template. He brought versatility, points, rebounds, defense, spectacularity and was one of the outstanding players in the 2016-2017 season. For these reasons he was renewed for three years betting very strongly.

However, this last season the downturn has been evident. Suddenly, everything that Randolph had shown was erasing as the season progressed. It seemed again to show those characteristics that showed mental instability or better to say an immaturity that weighed and conditioned the game on the track. And it's a shame, because in my opinion he is a very classy player who due to his bad head has not given everything he had for quality and conditions. Randolph could have had a great career in the NBA not as a star but as a consolidated player but has not known how to take advantage of all his talent. This situation has moved to Europe and after a promising first year has returned to the old ways.

This season has been downright lax. It could even be affirmed without fear of being mistaken that it has gone from more to less. After proclaiming Eurobasket champion with Slovenia with Doncic, setting a good performance within the collective was presented as an important piece within the scheme of Pablo Laso. However, separate injuries, the player was gradually losing prominence within the template. Randolph's attitude in many games was exasperating, the least regrettable. It was "erased" in many matches throughout the season and showed its quality on very few occasions.

In mixed zone after some games have been details of a player who is anything but professional. How to wait for the exit of the visitor's locker room to a rival player to adjust accounts of lances occurred during the matches. A Hervelle del Bilbao and Rojas UCAM for example this season. The game played against the UCAM was the most intense lived in the Wizink Center. In the fight between the two teams at the end of the meeting the National Police had to intervene and not only that, but also was present in a mixed zone, an unusual event. Returning to Randolph's theme, this situation that may seem a specific event has been adding to the low performance and attitude of the American. The straw that broke the camel's back after the first match of the final against Kirolbet Baskonia. He arrived late to training prior to the second game and that fact was the icing on the cake for Laso to condemn the player who did not play a single minute for the rest of the final series in which Real Madrid would end up proclaiming league champion.

Given the facts, Real Madrid has tried to get rid of the player who has a release clause to go to the NBA. The player has two more years of contract of 2 million dollars gross per season. But the teams of the NBA and Europe know of the risks of having in their ranks a problematic player with great emoluments but with extraordinary qualities and now there is no choice but to endure and try to redirect the player to get their best performance.
