Julius Randle becomes first Knick to win NBA Player of the Month since Carmelo Anthony

Julius Randle’s best NBA season yet has reached another new level.

After being named to his first All-Star Game and getting recognized with a Player of the Week honor recently, Randle got another feather on his cap.

Randle was named Eastern Conference’s NBA Player of the Month after leading the New York Knicks to an 11-4 record in April.

The Knicks’ hottest stretch in eight years saw Randle averaging 27.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.2 steals with 44/43/86 shooting splits. In that span, he had two 40-point games and seven games with at least 30 points.
