Signed when he was 25. Saddled with the lead role on a rebuilding team, learned from his mistakes and blossomed under the right coaching and FO support. Been consistently awesome since. One of the best things to happen to this Knicks franchise.

Three seasons ago Julius Randle led a starting lineup of Nerlens Noel, RJ Barrett, Reggie Bullock and Elfrid Payton to home court advantage in the Playoffs. Three of those guys aren’t even in the league anymore.
