When discussing Julius Randle, the word underrated comes to mind. Despite averaging 26.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.6 assists on 56/44.2/84.9 shooting splits, Randle rarely (if ever) gets praised by the national media. Being underappreciated is nothing new for Big Ju, though.
After being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves (along with Donte DiVincezno and a protected first-round pick, which turned into Joan Beringer) in exchange for Karl-Anthony Towns, the consensus opinion was that the New York Knicks won the trade. Nevertheless, Randle's shot creation and playmaking made him an ideal co-star next to Anthony Edwards. This gave the Wolves a skill set didn't have with Towns.
