Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle is one of the more controversial players in the league. ESPN is unveiling its annual top 100 player rankings this week. On Wednesday, they released the Nos. 50-11 portion of the list. Randle fairly found himself ranked as the No. 42 player.
It could even be argued that Randle should be slightly higher, as some elite third options, including Aaron Gordon, Desmond Bane, and OG Anunoby, rank above Randle. Still, 42 is a reasonable spot for Randle, and none of the players ranked above him I would consider egregious.
