Buechler was on the Lakers staff when Randle logged 49% of his overall minutes at center, according to an estimate from Basketball Reference. Head coach Luke Walton had Brook Lopez and Andrew Bogut, but opted often for small-ball lineups with Randle at center in the frontcourt alongside Kyle Kuzma.
