He’s reshaped his game…he’s a hard cover and when you get him off his sweet spot, you have to guard his tendencies,” Casey said of the Knicks star.</blockquote><p>Dwane Casey spoke about Julius Randle following the Knicks’ <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/scores/nba/boxscore/new-york-knicks-detroit-pistons-3-1-2021/7339161e-6ccf-4869-bc20-f05824c61e85" rel="noopener">109-90 win</a> over the Pistons on Sunday. Casey and Detroit saw Randle flash his deadly form firsthand, as he led the ‘Bockers with 25 points on 10-of-18 shooting while adding eight rebounds, six assists and two steals in 38 minutes of action.</p><p>A much-improved aspect of the Kentucky product’s retooled game is his 3-point shooting, as he never shot better than 34 percent from beyond the arc during his time with the Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans. But this season, the 26-year old is shooting 41.6 percent from downtown in 34 games and made three of six outside shots against Detroit.</p><p>Given his career-best numbers in scoring, rebounding, assists and his improved shooting, it’s no surprise that Randle was named an All-Star for the first time in his career. He’s already gotten to the point where even opposing coaches have to stop and admire how far he’s come as a player.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His averages of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/julius-randle/9a6b0863/stats">23.2 points</a>, 11.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists even earned him the first All-Star selection of his career. In addition, his solid production remains to be a huge reason as to why the Knicks are currently finding themselves in the Eastern Conference playoff race with a 17-17 record.</p><p>However, putting him on a higher pedestal as compared to a great player like Bosh isn’t a realistic thing to say at this point in time. The former Georgia Tech standout impacted the game in more ways than one and successfully served as an integral piece in multiple championship runs with the Heat. Even before his stint in Miami, Bosh was already a star in the league with the Raptors where he earned four straight All-Star nods.</p><p>The Knicks may be having an incredible campaign in the 2020-21 season but suggesting that Julius Randle is already better than Chris Bosh seems ridiculous at this point. Perhaps the 26-year-old forward will have to perform better and attain more success on the court in order to make the claim more logical to think about.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Their opponents were bannered by another All-Star big man in Domantas Sabonis who got the nod to replace All-Star captain Kevin Durant due to his nagging hamstring injury.</p><blockquote>“Sometimes there are just individual matchups that you take — not personal or nothing, like you don’t like the other guy, just personal from a competitive standpoint,” Randle said via <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/ny-knicks-beat-pistons-20210228-lqrgtu2x7rdzdgia3k7wr2tluu-story.html">New York Daily News</a>. “So it was that.”</blockquote><p>On the floor, Randle successfully made a statement as he scored the finishing touches in the game by sinking clutch free throws with 30 seconds left on the clock. He ended up notching a team-high 28 points along with 10 rebounds and six assists. On the other hand, Sabonis finished the game with 15 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists for the Pacers.</p><p>More than their individual matchup, Randle’s production also led the Knicks to run away with a 110-107 victory on their home floor. The New York-based squad is currently having a two-game winning streak and has improved to a 17-17 record for the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference.</p><p>The former Kentucky standout earned the first All-Star selection of his seven-year playing career this season after averaging 23.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists through 34 contests. Meanwhile, Sabonis was selected to his second straight All-Star appearance after recording 21.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists in 32 games this season.</p><p>On Saturday night, Julius Randle was able to prove that he was the better All-Star but it is expected that Domantas Sabonis will aim to bounce back in their next encounter. Their upcoming matchups down the road will certainly be exciting to watch moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Knick’s 140-121 win marked their latest victory as they continue to cement their postseason spot in the Eastern Conference almost halfway through the season.</p><p>Randle, who dropped 21 points and 14 boards, liked what he saw from their young crew. The Knicks shot 58.6% from the field, including 52.8% from deep and 90.5% from the charity stripe (via <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeVorkunov/status/1365146962769674244">Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic</a>).</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Julius Randle on the Knicks dropping 140 points, shooting like they did: "It was good.

Rookie guard Immanuel Quickley erupted for 18 of his team-high 25 points in the opening half and the Knicks basically didn’t stop cooking from there. They were also blessed with a vintage performance from Derrick Rose after the former MVP impressed in his first start for the Knicks since his return with 18 points on a 63.0% shooting clip.</p><p>Randle, who’s been named to his first All-Star Game, continues to be the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/new-york-knicks/stats">difference-maker for the Knicks</a> this season and he’s been extra vocal with his leadership as well.</p><p>Julius Randle and the Knicks have been on a roll as of late, winning five of their last seven contests. They’re now tied with the Toronto Raptors at the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
