The Realest: Julius Randle And The New York Knicks



“Quick thought exercise: picture a player with three All-Star appearances and two All-NBA selections in the last four years. A 250-pound power forward, he’s made more threes than Devin Booker, dished out more assists than Donovan Mitchell and grabbed more rebounds than Joel Embiid during that same time frame. For his troubles, he’s paid less annually than Tyler Herro. Now, try to imagine how wrongheaded it would be to argue that the Knicks would somehow be better without Julius Randle because they saw him give a thumbs down one time.”

    Devil’s Advocate here… so, people would’ve gotten over the thumbs down had he not followed up by pushing a teammate and then slapping an iPad out of his coach’s hand.

    Also, he’s played a lot more games than DM and JE during that time. And to add to the more threes thing, he is not a good shooter from three. This indicates to me that he is putting up way more threes than he should if he is out shooting DM. He also makes lousy decisions with the ball and is one of the league leaders in turnovers. Y’all need to look past the 25 and 10 stat.
