The New York Knicks’ biggest signing last summer was Julius Randle, who received $62.3 million over three years, including a partial guarantee for the third season. As the team’s highest-paid player, there were high expectations immediately.
Early on, though, Randle has struggled a lot and that has led to the Knicks’ record of 4-11.
In 2018-19, the 24-year-old power forward had a career year of 21.4 points. 8.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, a 52.2 percent shooting clip from the field and 34.4 percent from the three-point line. The points, rebounds and three-point percentages were career-highs.
Randle looked like he finally took the next step.
