Playoffs or not, Julius Randle's record breaking abilities are never in doubt

And while his shooting percentages will improve, plays like this aren't going anywhere

When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Has a lower TS% than Killian Hayes which is a really hard feat to achieve.

At least he does everything else on the court when he has no ball in his hands. Oh wait... (I know its unfunny low hanging fruit)

Outside of Poole/Kuz, there is no one more painful to watch than Randle. I wouldn’t even cheer for him if he was on my team cause it just encourages the terrible play.

His shot selection has always been a major problem for him!

We’ve been done with him since season one. U look at the Knicks board during his two good seasons and the talk was more about selling high. I’ve been watching basketball for a good 20 years and it’s taken Randle for me to realize how misleading stats are. He’s a guy that makes you understand how other fan bases can be down on their “star” players (KAT for example) but when you look at their stats or see them play twice a year you don’t understand the hate.

He’s has the lowest IQ of any Knicks “star” I’ve ever watched play and when he made all NBA third team last year I wondered if there’s ever been a worse all NBA forward in recent history

That 3 is a fine shot. I'd rather he take those shots as his %s should round back into form.

That drive-post-fadeaway though? I still don't know WTF that was.

FWIW Brunson wasn't much better before going off on the Bucks. But yeah, Julius needs to get the ball to start going into the hoop soon. He's doing everything else well; still a beast on the boards and a very good secondary playmaker...but if he's not scoring that hurts us a lot.

He sucks his whole career. For a player so big and strong and shooting bellow 50% his whole career except one season.
He had one season with the Knicks where his 3pt shot was falling in and that was it, and even that season he was barely over .5TS%..

As bad as Brunson has been, he’s been much better than Julius. Even before the Bucks game. Julius gets a few dimes and rebounds here and there, but his effort on defense is atrocious. Can’t even say it’s because of an injury since he’s real quick to try and throw up another brick on a fast break. Now the one thing that he had to his name last year (scoring) is nonexistent and he’s completely useless.

He had a lights out year 3 years ago, a dog **** year 2 years ago, a lights out year last year, and nooooow... He's just one of those guys who's inconsistent year to year. I remember Norman Powell was like that in his first 4 years in the league.

Remember when Knicks wanted to trade for Embiid using Randle as the main value?
