Back in March, I wrote an article dissecting NY Knicks star Julius Randle’s abilities and comparing his talent to his NBA peers. The objective was to determine where Randle ranked among the NBA’s top players.
Spoiler alert: Ff you haven’t read that article (maybe go look at it real quick before finishing this piece, I promise it won’t hurt to click that link one bit). I came to the conclusion that while Randle wasn’t an outright “elite” (top 10-ish player is my criteria for being elite) player, he is a player who sits a tier or two below elite.
