He’s missing shots but he’s still hanging in there. We already know what Randle is.

He’s missing shots and being a complete net negative on the court. Randle is making teammates who can actually shoot better (Knox, Rivers). R does nothing out there to help us.. he only hurts

whats also sad is in 10% of his minutes Frank has a higher WAR then RJ.

WAR is a cumulative stat that the more games/minutes you play in theory the higher WAR you should have.

The fact Frank has been more valuable in 40 minutes than RJ has been in 400 minutes is very concerning :o :o :o

Might be accurate. Outside of the Pacers and Hawks game RJ has been killing us on both ends

What I see from Rivers is that he gets the ball and is asked to do too much because the ball is not moving. He's made some 3's but I don't think it's because of Randle. I also don't think Knox will regress if Randle is dealt away.

Randle is tradable now but he's not leading the Knicks very far. He's too many mistakes, bad D, turnovers, and his offensive isn't good enough to overcome it. He is always in the middle of some defensive lapse and he's a ball stopper too. He's taking shots now that aren't even close. This is closer to who he is than the hot start guy. Sadly lol.

His jumper comes back down as it is now and he's not a really good player.

RJ is struggling but he has a good makeup and enough skill. You don't need to overplay him or count on him a ton yet but he has a chance to be a very good player. Randle is a good 2nd or 3rd scorer somewhere else.

Elfrid is a disaster. Give his PT to Frank and keep developing Frank.

And btw I know now is not the time to have faith in RJ and a lack of faith in Randle. But I don't care. That's what I see out there, and obviously we don't know yet what RJ is. I think we do on Randle.

No I'm basing it on the fact that his play last night was similar to the poor play we've seen from him as a Knick. He's kind of toxic. He stands around while people dunk on us (it's exhausting Mitch). He takes his crappy little side fadeaways. His 3 ball and long 2 was hot as hell but it was obvious it wouldn't last. It's not lasting.

He's really a guy who should be dealt when the stock is high. Maybe you could even pluck a decent young player.

The things that make up RJ are better. He cuts without the ball, he makes low mistakes, he has underrated driving moves, and I think he can be an average shooter.

I know this board is not fond of going against the momentary grain but I'll do it anyway :lol: I'm not saying RJ isn't in really bad territory right now but I think he's going to be a really good player. Or at least he has a reasonable chance of that.

Randle is no good. What I see from him is a guy who doesn't really care about winning. He's a good scorer if you don't rely on him a ton.

It sounds like you’re basing all of this from one game. Cause he’s been actually solid on defense, making the right passes, and has been a scoring machine.

I'd add that while he's been selfish at times RJ is good at finding people off the dribble too. He's got a good passing eye. I think you can win with RJ. I don't think Randle is ever playing a playoff game as a Knick and it would be a big mistake to keep him on a big Max or whatever. El Paso.

He’s making strides but he was pretty bad second half. He has a long way to go.

The next thing is to work on his handle.

Yea for a few games. You like him and I want to like him. But he's a flatfooted defender and a mistake prone offensive player whose jumper is really not that good.

If Randle's J was a little better he'd be a legit 1st scorer. But it's not and his passing comes and goes. He's a turnover machine really.

He's talented like a lot of NBA players and he's a potent offensive player but as a package, he's not the guy for us. Those mistakes he makes -- he'll always make them and they're costly.

In basketball mistakes kill you. A missed shot is much better than a mistake. Randle standing around while guys dunk, or throwing the ball away, or taking a bad shot ... these are all mistakes and the mistakes sink your team. Lower usage, different team, bye.

The impact Randle has on our team is enormous. Without him, we’re the worst team in the league.

Also I do think Randle is taking away RJ's oxygen some. Not saying RJ will immediately start hitting 3's, but Randle and Elfrid are just bad for rhythm. RJ needs the ball to have some rhythm. There's really no point in investing in Randle.

With RJ you have seen some big games this year. So it's not like there's nothing there to even give us any hope. I think if you dealt away Randle it would help RJ.

Yes Randle has been the best Knick for sure. He's the most talented offensive player but he also comes with baggage. He lacks a high basketball IQ and his D stinks. He's kind of a losing player.

He has put aside those lapses and caught fire. But I don't think he's the hot Randle, I think he's the guy who gets caught napping while people dunk on us.

Right now he's basically carrying the offense because he's the most offensively potent player in his prime. But I just don't think you build around him. I am basically betting the Under on Randle. I've seen enough -- he is going to be a mistake prone guy on O and D.

But yeah he's clearly been the guy carrying the team thus far. To a 5-6 record and 3 straight L's though.

RJ has the ball in his hands plenty of times next to Randle. He just simply can’t make anything. Since you’re using last night for most of your claims, go look how bad he was when Randle was out in foul trouble.

To me the way to judge a good player is to think about whether they can grind out a W. I see RJ being a guy who comes through for you in a big playoff game by keeping at it doggedly, playing team ball, and coming through in the clutch with ENOUGH shooting to be a good player but probably not a franchise.

Randle is not a grind it out guy. In fact he sort of sucks in close games. I think he's bad news, honestly. He seems to lose focus, he is not really playing a team game most of the time (or his O is not conducive to ball movement, the same deal) and I really don't believe winning is a priority for him.

Sell high.
