Off the court he seems like a good guy. We all know people like this who are generally good people but cannot seem to control
Their emotions
I’d argue the opposite, Randle DOESNT have a wide range of skills. He relies on his combination of speed and strength to brute force a lot of his buckets.
He has no right hand at all, he has no real post skills/footwork, doesn’t have a reliable jumper.
If he was more physically gifted he could get away with it, but he’s not tall enough or doesn’t have enough wingspan to solely rely on his athleticism. That’s why you get terrible performances so often and why he’s such a liability in the playoffs when teams actually have a defensive game plan.
Yes he has alot of flaws but you can’t just make all Nba and all star teams if you’re not skilled. That’s just ridiculous lol
I get you dont watch Knicks games but Randle has def improved. Sounds to me like you are describing Lakers Randle. Hes a bery good rebounder. He does have a good first step. Once in rhythm he also has a great post fadeaway. His mid range shot is pretty consistent. Its just his 3 point shot that’s very inconsistent. His problem is that he cracks under pressure. Its clear as day
