The 6-foot-8 forward signed a 3-year, $62.1 million deal in free agency shortly after the Knicks missed out on Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Julius Randle had an outstanding season with the New Orleans Pelicans, but his averages have dipped a bit since the last season. He is averaging 17.4 points and 8.7 rebounds this season. He would be the first of the four power forwards signed up this summer, along with Bobby Portis, Taj Gibson and leading scorer Marcus Morris, who is also heavily involved in trade rumours.
