Woj on how RJ Barrett's 4-year extension with the Knicks impacts Donovan Mitchell | Get Up Woj on how RJ Barrett's 4-year extension with the Knicks impacts Donovan Mitchell | Get Up Adrian Wojnarowski joins Get Up to discuss RJ Barrett finalizing a 4-year extension worth up to $120M with the New York Knicks. Things will get even better for him if Mitchell comes to town. Rounding out the list of most overrated players are Avery Bradley, Jamal Crawford, DeAndre Jordan and DeMar DeRozan. Perhaps this upcoming year could be a way of getting that plus/minus stat on the right side as he’ll be surrounded with a lot more talent. This might be unfair to Randle considering he’s never really been on great teams, but the proof in the pudding here. His teams are a more respectable minus-1.3 when he’s off the floor.” Even with his All-NBA campaign factored in, Randle’s career net rating is minus-4.6. “His career high prior to that was 1.5, and he’d been below-average in three of the seven seasons in which he played at least 1,000 minutes. “Randle posted a 3.8 box plus/minus in 2020-21,” Bailey wrote. Instead of looking at the raw numbers, Bailey looks at how Randle has performed on and off the court, and while he puts up decent numbers, the stats show his teams do seem to be better when he’s off the floor. The former number seven pick in the draft flashed moments of brilliance throughout his career, but it hasn’t stopped Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey from naming Randle one of the most overrated players from the last 10 years.īailey lists five players on his overrated list, and it might be shocking to see Randle make it here considering he’s just been a one-time All-Star and he’s never exactly been overpaid, unless his four-year, $117 million extension counts toward that. His numbers were still solid, but his shooting efficiency slipped across the board and the Knicks failed to make the playoffs. With that said, some of the current roster is still raising eyebrows, and Julius Randle, in particular, is one who catches a lot of flack.Īfter being named the NBA’s Most Improved Player, an All-Star, and a member of the All-NBA team, Randle had a rough season last year. The New York Knicks have had a pretty good offseason so far as they snagged Jalen Brunson from the Dallas Mavericks, extended RJ Barrett, and they are currently engaged in talks that would bring Donovan Mitchell to town.Įven if they don’t land Mitchell in the end, this offseason will still most likely be viewed as a success from the Brunson signing alone.
We just gotta be ourselves and just help each other out.Julius Randle (L) and Evan Fournier (R) could be dangled in a trade. Julius brings a whole different dynamic to our team. “The thing for us is that everyone has to be themselves,” Brunson added.

“Kind of figure it out, how to be more effective with the new lineup that we’re going to have for a little bit will be key.” “Of course you have to make some adjustments, but you still stay true to your identity,” Barrett said. While Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen was listed as doubtful to play on Friday night, the Knicks know that in the playoffs with the Cavs almost certainly the first-round opponent, there will be a size deficit. While Toppin will start, the Knicks likely will turn to Barrett and Josh Hart to fill minutes at power forward, a solution the team found Wednesday as they beat Miami with those two matching up in Randle’s place. We have guys that are more than capable of doing a lot.” For the most part, it’s not just me picking it up. I’m a leader and I gotta lead and help my team win. “I mean, Julius is 25 and 10,” RJ Barrett said.
When asked what the difference is between playing with Toppin versus Randle, the answer is obvious. Obi Toppin will get the starting assignment in his place. And it’s a big loss with Randle leading the Knicks in scoring (25.1 per game) and rebounding (10 per game), and second only to Brunson in assists (4.1 per game). He had played in every game this season and was second in the NBA in minutes played when he went down Wednesday in the second quarter with a sprained left ankle that the team said will be reevaluated in two weeks. The Knicks were without Brunson for seven of the 11 games before he returned Wednesday night from a sprained right hand - an injury he is still playing through, a large ice pack strapped to his hand as he spoke Friday morning.īut Randle might be the most unexpected loss. It is a message that Thibodeau has preached long before he took over as head coach of the Knicks and one that his players have heard no matter the missing pieces.
