Tom Thibodeau says Julius Randle has helped Knicks improve in all facets of the game | SNY

New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau is happy with the way Julius Randle has been playing this season, and said his early exit in Phoenix was nothing more than a rest because of back-to-back games on the schedule. Thibodeau said Randle's versatility is a big reason for the Knicks' recent success.

This is what I gotta say and anyone who disagrees is honestly just blind, randle is the best player at PF we are gonna get/have anytime soon, any of you who want zion or kd i’d love to see how that’ll work when half the time zion doesn’t even play and kd just destroys every team he is on, also for the people who think obi will do a better job just because towards the end of last season he scored points against g league players, I love obi but only as a bench player, he cannot start, he has 2 skill sets, dunking and catch and shoot, that’s it, randle is showing hustle, effort and determination, letting brunson run the offence, that’s what we all wanted and he’s happening so all of you fake Knicks fans go and support another team

I believe the Knicks front office and coaches are deliberately avoiding saying anything negative about Randle.
They don't want to say or do anything that diminishes Randle's trade value.
Not to mention, airing out Julius' dirty laundry would only mess with his head, get in his feelings and his performance.
We need to keep his stock as high as we can, so we can trade him.

Randle making the team play a lot faster 😮🤨🤨 also in all honesty the team is not going to grow with Randle in the lineup, Obi has got to play more!!!!

[TalkmeGuce]

Thibs has such a blind spot when it comes to Randle I honestly don’t understand. His iso mentality, insistence on controlling the offense, and most of all his poor attitude does not make this team better. They need to trade him ASAP.

[TruthSpeaker]

Love my team … everyone raise their games we dont have to try for nobody.. RJ is a about to take off

[Desman]

The problem is we will never win a championship with Julius Randle he play lazy on defense WHY CAN HE SEE THIS THIS DUDE IS LAZY FOR THE MOST PART ON DEFENSE [SMH]

[jblack]

Thibs with the consistent denial, Randle does not play team ball. It’s ISO or he removes himself from both offense and defense.

[curtisbranch]

Randle is averaging 3 assist a game and 3.1 turnovers... What a passers. SMDH

[davidpiccolo]

Randle is good but we can do better. We aren't winning a chip with Randle.

[joerusso]

randle makes a ton of dumb plays even when he scores and rebounds. like bringing the ball up court slowing it down when the knicks have numbers then driving into a double team for an offensive foul or miss. plus lazy passes and lack of court awareness cost the knicks points on the other end. he will always hold the knicks back. just not a smart basketball player.

[bugsyloc]

I swear thibs reminds me of Joe Judge, they both say the same thing after every game smh...

[Hollisty]

Randle is Randle but RJ has been the weakest link this year

[agentsuperargo]

IQ will be traded for another draft pick. The KNICKS and THIBS, love 'Optimus' Grimes and Cam 'the X-Factor' Reddish due to their defensive and offensive skills. Can't sign everyone at the end of the season with a Deep Draft season coming up.🗽
