New shameful revelation about Julius Randle at the Knicks!

In total loss on the side of New York, Julius Randle is distinguished in particular by a very questionable behavior. The latest revelations aren’t going to restore his reputation, however… It feels like the end of his journey on the spot for him, who is in the process of alienating a lot of fans.

Long subscribers to the last places in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks created a surprise last year by going to the playoffs. Under the leadership of Tom Thibodeau, the men of the Big Apple ended the regular campaign in the Top 4… in other words, we are far from it this season, with a pitiful 11ᵉ place and a particularly mediocre record (24 wins for 27 losses) .

Symbol of this New York decline, Julius Randle also knows a complicated exercise. Boss of the team in 2020-21, he is only the shadow of this player now. On the one hand on the statistical level: from 24 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists last year, he rose to 19 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5 assists on average. But above all, it is in the attitude that he questions with in particular a big freak out in front of fans at Madison Square Garden.

Julius Randle refuses to play for the Knicks collective

This incident also marked a turning point for the former interior of the Lakers, who seems totally isolated from his locker room mentally. Recently, he has also made the buzz again for the wrong reasons, with scandalous borderline behavior in the middle of a match. While Evan Fournier and consorts are fighting as well as they can to save the exercise in progress, gives him the impression of having nothing more to do. Atmosphere…

What illustrates this very well are the last words of his coach. Asked by the New York Post, Thibodeau revealed that talking with his big man was becoming more and more complicated. Above all, he would refuse to get involved on a collective level:

According to an NBA source, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau admitted to associates that he’s had a harder time getting Randle to play selflessly and for the good of the team this season than he did last season. .

There, it starts to become extremely complicated to imagine a happy outcome to this slump. Holder of a 62 million contract over three years, there is little chance that the player trained in Kentucky will leave before the deadline. We must therefore hope that he plays well again, in order to increase his rating for the summer. Author of 17 points and 9 rebounds against the Kings (116-96 victory), however, he will have to do a little better…

Favorite of Madison Square Garden last year, Julius Randle is on the way to becoming his worst nightmare. A departure this summer seems like the best option right now, especially if he doesn’t manage to patch things up with the Knicks.
