Pre-2023-24 Rank: #44.
Peak Period: From 2017-18 to 2023-24. Randle should still be in his Peak Period at season’s end.
Julius Randle’s career took off in his seventh NBA season when the Power Forward was a Second Team All-NBA and Most Improved Player of the Year in what was his second year with the Knicks. Randle was an All-Star three times on New York, but with the emergence of Jalen Brunson, the Knicks shuffled the deck and traded him to Minnesota for Karl-Anthony Towns.
As we wrote for Towns, this is a boom or bust campaign, as this will set the tone for any possible Hall of Fame run.
