Players who are out of sight often slip out of mind, so it’s perhaps worth noting that Julius Randle is an All-Star. And not, like, conceptually, or in some far-flung past; he made the All-Star team two months ago.
Only five players have averaged more than 24 points, nine rebounds and five assists per game this season. Randle’s one of them; the rest of the list is an MVP ballot. Filter out a frigid six-game start to the season, during which he missed 70 of his first 96 shots while working his way back into rhythm after offseason surgery, and Randle averaged 25.
