Is Juluis Randle a fraud?

He had a contract year in a season where no fans were allowed. We all seen what he was like his first season in NY. Where he got the Nick name no handle Randle. Running into double teams that everyone saw coming but himself

This man isnt built for NY. Once fans came back , he started playing like s***. He cant handle hostile crowds. He cant handle pressure. Knicks is the heaviest jersey in the league. Hes better off playing for a team like the Timberwolves. Go put up your empty stats elsewhere

He sucks. He has the shakes and showed that in the ATL series. He is awful.

He’s not a fraud just not a #1 option.

Imagine thinking a guy who can get you 21/10/5 not any given night a fraud. Stay sane RealGM lmao

I don’t understand why getting that guy well below is bad? He’s a borderline elite player on offense (that is inconsistent) and is finally not a sieve on D. I’m confused as to why he’s a fraud. He’s putting up nearly identical numbers.

Anyone who thought Randle was one of the 20 best guys in the league was obviously making themselves to be the fool.

Anywhere in that 20-30 range is where he would fit realistically.

If anyone has to pick it up, it’s RJ.

Randle is a great 3rd option

I dont think anybody had him as a top 20 player lmao

He's not a fraud, but he's not a superstar like some fans think he is. He's actually playing about to the back of his basketball card this year.

A lot of people did, considering that he was 2nd Team All NBA last year.

Oh come on, the man plays every game, plays hard, puts up numbers, he will have a few bad games but he's a all star plain and simple, this team needs another.

He's not built for what Thibs has him doing. He shouldn't be ISOing, he shouldn't be bringing the ball up the court, he shouldn't be option number 1 on offense, he shouldn't be the one with the ball in his hands with 5 seconds left on the shot clock.

I really think if he just played within the offense like Obi, he would be just fine.

Not being LeBron, KD or Curry level is a fraud to some.

Randle is fine. He's not the best player on a title contender but he's the best we have right now and a big reason we aren't a laughing stock anymore. Some of you are just ungrateful and fickle.

This best describes what I’m feeling. I like Randle but I hate him as a number one option. Not too mention. He cracks under pressure

Oh thank god, someone unironically made the "is Randle a bust" thread

Now he can get back to form, I was worried I was gonna have to do it.

He's not. I get frustrated with the iso and his scoring efficiency is down, but he can still be a really good player for a championship team. With the way we've been losing, there's lots of blame to go around, to be honest. It's not all Randle.

2 major red flags with Randle - he didn't bet on himself by signing for less and melo is a fan.

He’s been phoning it in and ball hogging after getting paid. So unless he wants to play team basketball, he’s a fraud

He was very good on defense last year. This year he often sucks and doesn’t give a damn. That’s fraudulence to a Tee

Yes he is...

He is a fraudulent version of a #1 or #2 player on team.

When you speak of a #3 option?
He is the real deal....
