Julius Randle, How Good Is He?

He's shooting 33% from 3, he's a 27% shooter for his career. He's also getting to the line at a career high rate 6.2 FTAs per game. Now that he's gotten some starts instead of having to carry terrible bench players his NetRtg has gone from negative to positive for the season. I'm still torn on Niko vs. Randle, because we've seen Niko put up great career best numbers too in short bursts this season, but Randle's been making a pretty good case for himself in Niko's absence.

Julius Randle in 8 starts this season:

24.8 ppg, 11.3 rpg, 3.4 apg on 62.7% TS


Holiday - Randle - Davis lineups are +16.1 per 100 possessions. They have a DRTG of 100.5.

And this is with Hill and Frazier getting most of the minutes at the other two spots.

Here Mason did a Per 36 comparison of Boogie last year vs. Randle this year.
