The New York Knicks executed a dominant performance over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday evening, led by Julius Randle and his 44 points. Randle and his stoic nature have developed into not only a leader but a bonafide star at the NBA level. He’s averaging a career-high 23.6 points, 6.0 assists, 9.3 rebounds over 37.2 minutes. Pairing that with a career-high .410 3-PT percentage, and Randle is having himself one memorable season. It was his first All-Star appearance, and the Knicks would be in no man’s land without him.
However, we would be ignorant to forget his partner in crime, RJ Barrett, who has witnessed an unbelievable step forward and his progression this year.
