All the Randle haters and Obi supporters are so dumb.

Randles averaging 7 more points than Obi this year. Sure it’s on 20% worse fg% but so what! Ok yes Randle does have the lowest fg% in the league but he always hustles and plays great defense. He never mopes and walks up the court like Obi does. Obi plays with terrible energy and isn’t at all fun to watch with his awesome dunks.

So that’s enough from you Randle haters and Obi supporters!

    Yes, Randle started out shooting very badly, but now do Assists and Rebounds.

    And, as for defense, Randle’s defensive Estimated Plus Minus, which is one of the most respected measures out there of a player’s defensive impact, has Randle at +1.7 per 100 possession this year (which is in the 96% league wide). Meanwhile, Obi is -0.4. ‘ To put that in perspective, as bad as Randle has shot, his overall Estimated Plus Minus is 1.4 (85% percentile league wide) and his Estimated Wins contributed are 1.3 (88% percentile league wide). Meanwhile, Obi’s overall Estimated Plus Minus is -0.4 and his Estimated Wins contributed are 0.5.

    Randle’s numbers are very close to Brunson, who is also off to a somewhat slow start. His overall Estimated Plus Minus is 1.6 (86% percentile league wide) and his Estimated Wins contributed is also 1.3 (but 89% percentile league wide).

    My dude Obi is so awesome they even stopped starting him. You also conveniently leave out Obi is averaging 3 rebs and 1 assist. Please STFU.

      You’re right. Randle has the highest uncontested rebound % among all power forwards. If only Obi grabbed more uncontested rebounds, which are occasionally stolen from his own team, he’d be a much better player.

        To quote The Princess Bride, “I do not think it means what you think it means.” If the other team thought they could get an offensive rebound from Randle do you really think they wouldn’t contest? His high percentage means that he positions himself well and other teams know he’s likely to get the rebound so they drop back in defense.

        Ask yourself this also - if getting uncontested defensive rebounds was so easy, why don’t a bunch of other players dominate and why has Randle been one of the top defensive rebounders in the league throughout his career, including before Thibs was his coach?

          Lol you’re wrong. Firstly use your eyes. Secondly remember the westbrook triple double scandal where westbrook kept getting bs rebounds for stat padding? well that’s the rebounds Randle gets.

              Why would I want to dislike a player on my favorite team? You think I enjoy watching every game where there’s a player I don’t like as if I choose to do it? You think a shit ton of Knicks fans feel the same way for no reason?

                The fact that you don’t like him as a player or person doesn’t make him a bad player.

        Uncontested rebounds hahahah

        How many of Obi’s dunks are uncontested because he doesn’t play defense or close-out and just cherry-picks like he’s at the fuckin Y??

          At least when Obi doesn’t play defense he runs down the court and gets a basket. Randle doesn’t play defense and we get no baskets out of it.

    The way New York sports fans coddle homegrown guys is so weird. Unless you’re historically bad like Zach Wilson you’re given so much rope. Obi was a bad pick with or without Randle.
