LAS VEGAS >> The schedule has appeared full as Julius Randle has blocked out most of his summer with two-a-day sessions. Randle’s mind has appeared racing as he charges down the court either to impose his power inside or to show off his developing jump shot.

Based on his schedule and his constant energy, it appears the Lakers’ third-year forward has plenty of things he wants to accomplish on his bucket list.

Some are well known. Randle has practiced this week with the U.S. Men’s select team. There he has practiced with the U.S. Men’s Select team and scrimmaged against the U.S. Men’s Olympic team that will strive to earn a third consecutive gold medal in the Rio Games.

There are others Randle wants to keep private. He has consulted with an unnamed mentor that has helped him this offseason with his shooting. After fulfilling last season’s quest to average a double double (11.3 points, 10.2 rebounds), Randle respectfully declined to outline his goals for the 2016-17 campaign.

“I’m not much of a talker unless I’m on the court,” Randle told Southern California News Group on Wednesday after practice at UNLV. “I want to let my work ethic and the work I put into the game speak for itself. “I don’t have to tell anybody what I’m doing. I’ll just go out there and do it.”

Sounds simple enough. It does not appear simple, however, to duplicate Randle’s heavy workload.

He spent most of May and June in the Lakers’ practice facility completing two-a-day workouts. That began with weight training and basketball drills in the morning and more basketball at night. To add more strength and conditioning to his listed 6-foot-9, 250-pound frame, Randle occasionally has completed running drills on a sand pit. He also has continued his year-long quest to improve his jump shot, while making slight unspecified tweaks to his regimen.

Randle did not play on the Lakers’ summer-league team. Yet, that decision reflected more of the league-wide pattern that third-year players sit.

“I put a lot of work into it so far throughout the summer and I’m going to keep getting better at it,” Randle said. “The key for me is to continue the same work throughout the season. I think I’ll be fine.”

Randle already has continued more work with the U.S. Select team.

One of the biggest priorities has centered on Randle learning under U.S. select team coach Gregg Popovich, who Randle dubbed a “Hall-of-Fame” legend after coaching the San Antonio Spurs through five NBA championships. Randle, who called himself “curious,” has peppered Popovich with questions without hesitation.

“Anytime I get a chance to pick his brain, I’m going to do it now,” Randle said. “Obviously I’m not going to be able to do it during the season. That’s when he’s going to try to kill me. I’ll take advantage of the chance while I’m out there now.”

Randle has also tried taking advantage of defending Warriors forward Draymond Green and Kings center DeMarcus Cousins, two big men Randle both respects and has tried to model emulate. Randle has admired both their versatility and imposing presence.

“He’s a load and a handful,” Randle said of Cousins. “So whenever you go against him, you have to find [different] ways to be successful. But Boogie is always fun to compete against.”

Randle also sounded like he had fun spending time with Lakers coach Luke Walton both at Tuesday’s practice and later that evening (“Luke has been great”). Randle has also enjoyed trash talking with second-year guard D’Angelo Russell and rookie forward Brandon Ingram over one-on-one contests (“We have a bond”).

Through all these experiences, however, Randle finds the most satisfaction from completing his daily tasks. All of which could help him accomplish his bucket list that he suggested will become apparent once the season starts.

“You’ll see,” Randle said, smiling.
