This season has been fascinating for Julius Randle. Randle had been delegated to the bench to start the Los Angeles Lakers’ season, and initially it was clear he wasn’t pleased with it. In the first two games of the season, Randle seemed disinterested and looked like he was allowing his benching affect his play on the court.
Then, something changed. You could see that Randle hit a switch in his mind and was going to make the best out of the situation. Since the Lakers’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Randle’s true shooting percentage sits at 60.
