Can we all agree that Randle is our best passer? You may not like how he passes but he consistently passes out of double teams or post ups and those passes end up with us scoring. He’s also one of the few that constantly looks for Mitch, although he forces that a bit too much at times, resulting in a turnover or Mitch getting the ball in an awkward spot. The numbers back this up too.
You make a lot of excellent points, Randle is decent at post ups and passing out of those, while passing out of doubles isn’t always perfect and can sometimes result in turnovers. I agree if our guys cut more he’d rind then soon so it doesn’t look like he’s passing out of desperation.
My one critique of Randle when he has the ball is his tendency to over dribble when facing up opponents or trying moves, like spinning that result in turnovers.
Also those stats are crazy! Thanks for sharing!
I wonder how Randle stacks against other PFs when it comes to passing.
Per Cleaning the Glass, Randle has assisted on 25.6% of his teammates’ scores this season (98% among Forwards), which is higher than the team’s 2 PGs, Quick and Brunson and his Assist to Usage Ratio is the same as Brunson and barely below Quick, and when adjusted to position, neither of those is in the top 50%.
