New York Knicks: Julius Randle would be better in a diminished role

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle has been a large part of the team’s offense this season. After signing with the Knicks last summer on a three-year, $62 million contract, there was hope that Randle could be a focal point of a young offense.

So far, it hasn’t panned out.

On the surface, his numbers don’t look bad. Randle is averaging 19.5 points and 9.7 rebounds on the season. A deeper dive into his numbers, however, shows someone who is not only a defensive liability but a thorn in the Knicks’ offense.
