When the New York Knicks originally signed power forward Julius Randle to a three-year, $62 million deal, they saw them as an integral part of their reconstruction.
The organization was undergoing changes, but it wasn’t until this past off-season where the Knicks finally established a foundation for the future and put together a coaching staff capable of creating a winning team.
Randle has been an absolute menace this season, earning his first All-Star appearance at 26 years old. Over 37 games, he’s averaging 23.2 points, 5.5 assists, and 11.1 rebounds per contest, all three categories being career highs.
