Despite talk about his injuries he’s still shooting at a pretty large volume, meanwhile his shot selection has been poor. As a big man you’d expect his fg% to be higher. It’ll be interesting to see how his efficiency ends the rest of the season after factoring in this start.

    He is still recovering. Team wanted to rest him he said no. Post your hater bullshit if he’s still doing it mid-season.

    I thought those were his stats and was ready to be like “Damn I thought he was playing poorly, those are MVP numbers” then I realized that A) 70 assists a game??? and B) it’s Julius Randle lol

      Nobody actually likes playing that obese cigarette addict. He slow walks the ball up the court and holds the ball for the entire shot clock before passing to them at the last second for a bailout shot

      He’s an elite player, but it’s very easy to understand why other great players wouldn’t wanna play Luka ball all night every night. For spot up shooters he’s amazing, but for other ball-handlers like Brunson & Kyrie it’s really a testament to them that they’re able to fit so seamlessly into a Luka ball offense

      Damn you chirping like you made the playoffs last year? Or did you do a generational tank job to avoid handing over your pick?

          Here’s my tier for PGs.

          Tier 1: Curry, Luka

          Tier 1.5: Shai

          Tier 2: Lillard, Fox, Haliburton, Kyrie, Trae

          Tier 3: Murray, Ja, Harden, Brunson, Garland, Maxey

          Those tier 2 guys can go nuclear or are extremely better facilitators. It’s more of an indication there’s better players in the league.

    He looked better against us this last game than the first one. Just how he was moving on the court, D’ing up, in the rebound scrums.

    It’s not that hard to take another 2 minutes and look at his game log. Over the last 4 games, the Knicks went 3-1 and he’s averaged 24.5 PPG on 54.7% TS. You’d like that to continue trending upward, but it’s significantly better than his historically poor shooting to start the season.

    Knicks are 5-5 with toughest sched. Not bad for Randle coming off ankle surgery. Also leads team in assists

    Just watch, within the next few games he’s going to go off!

    It’s frustrating following Randle. He’s gunna do 18 pts, 20rb and 3 assists or steals. Then 3 games of 10, 10,1.

    His consistency is holding him back more than anything else. It’s like he’s hitting strips like harden
