The year is 2021, the NY Knicks are in the playoffs and they have a 26-year-old all-star named Julius Randle leading the charge. Randle has been the leader of a young New York team that not only exceeded their lowly preseason expectations but finds itself with the potential to have homecourt advantage in a playoff series. This has been a crazy year.
Julius Randle’s transformation has coincided with the Knicks’ transformation. On the 2nd year of his 3-year 62.1 million dollar contract, Randle has asserted himself as the leader of the current team and potentially their leader for the future.
