Knicks, Randle doesn’t look to personal goals but focuses on the team

Julius Randle is averaging career best in terms of scoring (22.4 points per game), rebounds (11.4) and assists (6.3) through the Knicks’ 8-8 start, after coming in with an assist from his second triple double of the season in 119- 104 win over the Warriors in San Francisco.

“You always strive to be the best version of who you are. Set goals and things like that. Obviously that’s something I want, of course. But that’s not something I’m focusing on, “said Randle, who finished with 16 points, 17 rebounds and nine assists.” I’m just focusing on this team, I lose myself in the team, trying to figure out the best way, every night, to be the best version of myself and to give my team the chance to win and do everything possible to prepare to give our team the chance to win night after night.

“Those things accompany him. Year after year, I try to improve, I put myself in a position to be the best version of myself, so obviously the recognition is fantastic … but I still feel I still have a long way to go and a lot on which I can improve. “
