Leon Rose forgot there weren't any fans in the stadium during the NBA 2020-21 regular season, when he gave out awards. Giving Randle an extension in the offseason was stupid after Randle 2nd season on a 4 yr contract. In Randle's 3rd season, and 2nd All-Star appearance would've been the wise time to give Randle an extension.
The video of Randle tells a lot of things, Randle catching and passing without dribbling, and moving without the ball are a positive in Randle's performance.
The Big negative on Randle offense performance are the dribble-dribble-dribble giving opponents defense time to double him quickly, which leads to turnovers.
Plus when Randle does his dribble-dribble on consecutive offensive-possession, Randle's teammates become unaware of what Randle are gonna do offense so they stand like statue watching and waiting for a pass, or to see if this is one of Randle's 20 or more shot attempts a game. It's all good if the shot goes in on consecutive possession, but missing consecutively in all 4 quarters .. YEAH! Some fan in MSG are going to call u out !!!
A Tired Randle are no good in the final 6 minute of a Knicks game.
When Randle's tired he'll give the Knicks one or maybe two good plays, along with 3 to 5 bad plays within those final 6 minute of the game.
After the Knicks postseason performance coach Thibs should've been hard on Randle & Barrett to improve their passing skills in the starter lineup the first day of training-camp. Knowing ur adding two new scorers to the starter lineup, and not doing anything about how the starter lineup share the ball on offensive possessions are cruel.
Randle should have been averaging 28 to 30 minute per game this season.
There's NO reason for Randle to play the entire first quarter, plus the entire 3rd quarter in every game, against good & bad opponents .. It makes Fans and teammates SICK!
The negative on Randle defense performance has been the first 3 quarters of a Knicks game Randle perform with no effort on defense. And Randle's 4th quarter defense when he do apply effort he's to tired to give it 100%.
I did not understand why no one in KO wanted to comment on coach Thibs playing Randle, Barrett, and Fournier for 30 or more minute throughout the Preseason games?
Plus playing Kemba the same minutes he played Payton last season?
The Knicks preseason performance showed me Thibs were not prepared to coach at the start of the NBA 2021-22 season. Plus the way things has been turning out after half a season, I believe coach Thibs wasn't happy about any of the new players added to the Knicks roster in the offseason.
