NBA so far this season, some teams have performed beyond expectations, such as "walking pork belly" Nicola Jokic and Kevin Durant who returned from a ruptured Achilles tendon, but I was more surprised to see By the time Julius Randall had averaged 20+10+5, leading the Knicks to a record of the top eight in the Eastern Conference for many years. This Lakers abandoned general even accomplished a feat that LeBron James had never achieved.
The "fat" "Jokic" has scored 27.2 points and 11.5 rebounds in 22 regular season games so far this season with 56.9% field goal percentage and 39.2% three-point field goal percentage. The number of assists is surprising. After all, in the long history of the NBA, only Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook have averaged 25+10+8 per game in a single season; Du has recovered from a serious illness. Rand has averaged 29.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 blocks per game with 52.9% field goal percentage and 44.9% three-point field goal percentage in 18 regular season games so far this season. The expectation is that even Kobe Bryant suffered a sharp decline after suffering the same injury.
However, compared with the talented Jokic and Durant, Randall's record-setting performance is more inspirational. So far this season, Randle has averaged 22.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 25 regular season games with 47.7% field goal percentage and 39.8% three-point field goal percentage, breaking his 7-year NBA career single season. Average points per game, rebounds, assists, three-pointers made, three-pointers made, free throws made and free throws made and many other highest records. What's even more exciting is that Randall led the Knicks, who missed the playoffs for seven consecutive years, with the worst record in team history, and has so far achieved a top eight record in the Eastern Conference.
It is true that 4 players in the league so far this season have averaged 20+10+5 per game, but the other three are Antetokounmpo, Jokic and Sabonis, who are already All-Stars. Players, and they have been cultivated as the cornerstone of the team,And Randall, who has played for 3 teams in the 7 years of NBA career so far, has never been regarded as a savior by the team. He was abandoned by the Lakers, whether he was in the Pelicans or in the Knicks, he "accompanyed the prince to study". Positioning.
Among the current NBA players, only 4 players have had a single-season regular season average of 20+10+5 before this season. There is no LeBron James name. The four are Antetokounmpo, Wei Shao, Jokic and Cousins. Although James is synonymous with comprehensive skills, he has never averaged 9.0 rebounds per game in a single season.
In the history of the historic Lakers, there are only two players who have had a single season 20+10+5 performance, namely Elgin Baylor and Jabbar. No one would have thought that Randall, who was abandoned by the Lakers, could do this. After D'Angelo Russell and Ingram left the Lakers and stood on the All-Star stage, Randall also has a chance. Should we vindicate Kupchak?
