Julius Randle didn’t win Eastern Conference Player of the Week because of the Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown, but the Knicks State of Mind podcast doesn’t put too much stock into weekly awards.
Nonetheless, Randle deserves heaps of credit for his recent uptick in production. In three games last week, two of which were wins, Randle averaged 32.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. Better yet, Randle hit over 50% of his shots from the field, converted on more than 40% of his three-point attempts, and drilled 15 of his 16 free throws.
