The foundational players of this season’s NY Knicks team are Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and Derrick Rose, in that order.
Julius Randle has been the best player, having a season worthy of All-NBA consideration.
RJ Barrett has been a steady #2 option and has taken his game to heights no one expected for his sophomore season.
After watching all of Barrett’s games, I still can’t believe he improved his outside shooting so quickly, finished the season shooting 40.1% from behind the arc.
