The New York Knicks are fueled by their two-time All-NBA forward, Julius Randle. His approach to training camp has had teammates and coaches raving about the signs he’s shown that he’ll get even better in 2023-24. How can that be for a New York team contending for a championship?
New York Daily News reporter Kristian Winfield made his rounds during the Knicks’ training camp at The Citadel in Charleston, North Carolina, and the one thing everyone had to say about their leader is that the unwavering “intensity ” about him is contagious.
Coach Tom Thibodeau went further into Randle’s overall mindset, approach and dedication to improving areas where he is weak, saying:
“Doing what he’s doing, being All-NBA twice in the last three years is significant,” Thibodeau said, “but the thing I love is he’s not satisfied. He wants to be better. Thibodeau also said, “He’s shooting well. .He got to the line a lot last year, which people don’t recognize how important it is. He was one of the reasons why I felt we were so efficient offensively, because of our ability to get to the line.”
