Despite talk about his injuries he’s still shooting at a pretty large volume, meanwhile his shot selection has been poor. As a big man you’d expect his fg% to be higher. It’ll be interesting to see how his efficiency ends the rest of the season after factoring in this start.

He was a fantasy GOAT last season.... I didn't pick him this season tho (clearly)

I thought those were his stats and was ready to be like "Damn I thought he was playing poorly, those are MVP numbers" then I realized that A) 70 assists a game??? and B) it's Julius Randle lol

Brunson chose Dubious Handles over Luka lmao

Nobody actually likes playing that obese cigarette addict. He slow walks the ball up the court and holds the ball for the entire shot clock before passing to them at the last second for a bailout shot

He’s an elite player, but it’s very easy to understand why other great players wouldn’t wanna play Luka ball all night every night. For spot up shooters he’s amazing, but for other ball-handlers like Brunson & Kyrie it’s really a testament to them that they’re able to fit so seamlessly into a Luka ball offense

Damn you chirping like you made the playoffs last year? Or did you do a generational tank job to avoid handing over your pick?

It's all good now. Kyrie Irving is miles better.

[–] BlueHundred@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also think he's better but is he really "miles better?" I don't think so

[–] Salahs_Chest_Hair@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Here's my tier for PGs.

Tier 1: Curry, Luka

Tier 1.5: Shai

Tier 2: Lillard, Fox, Haliburton, Kyrie, Trae

Tier 3: Murray, Ja, Harden, Brunson, Garland, Maxey

Those tier 2 guys can go nuclear or are extremely better facilitators. It's more of an indication there's better players in the league.

wow. he has the confidence though

Is this good?

[–] Ok_Motor_4298@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Same numbers as Lillard lmao

Just watch, within the next few games he’s going to go off!

It’s frustrating following Randle. He’s gunna do 18 pts, 20rb and 3 assists or steals. Then 3 games of 10, 10,1.

His consistency is holding him back more than anything else. It’s like he’s hitting strips like harden

those long contested Melo/Kobe 2s are obsolete now.

[–] gamer15807@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

For a moment, i thought those were his stats. ☠️☠️☠️

[–] feckinA@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is disingenuous, compare the first half versus the second half. He has doubled the averages from the first few games while playing back from injury. Seems to be getting better and better.

I better see a post when its 50/35/80 with an actual statbase to support it If i have to see this garbage constantly on less than 10 game sample size

[–] poeope@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He looked better against us this last game than the first one. Just how he was moving on the court, D'ing up, in the rebound scrums.

[–] herseyhawkins33@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's not that hard to take another 2 minutes and look at his game log. Over the last 4 games, the Knicks went 3-1 and he's averaged 24.5 PPG on 54.7% TS. You'd like that to continue trending upward, but it's significantly better than his historically poor shooting to start the season.

[–] bbqyak@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hot garbage

[–] Fishmike52@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Knicks are 5-5 with toughest sched. Not bad for Randle coming off ankle surgery. Also leads team in assists

[–] Totally_PJ_Soles@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is still recovering. Team wanted to rest him he said no. Post your hater bullshit if he's still doing it mid-season.
