Julius Randle’s remarkable first half of the season paid off, as the power forward has made the All-Star team for the first time in his career.
The All-Star reserves are chosen by the coaches of the NBA, which means that Knicks fans aren’t crazy; the rest of the league has taken notice of Randle’s Knicks. The news was first reported by The Athletic, and soon after the Knicks announced it themselves.
Randle is highly deserving of the honor, as we recently went over in detail. Heading into Tuesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors (and some fans for the first time in a year), Randle is averaging career highs in points, rebounds and assists 23, 11, 5.
