How has Julius Randle managed to pull off so many assists so far this season? He gives the credit to Tom Thibodeau.
“I think Thibs, from the start of training camp, has done a great job simply implementing his system of how we want to play,” Randle said Tuesday after recording a triple-double in the Knicks’ 95-86 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. “We don’t have to guess where we will be on the pitch. We have great spacing and if the defense is collapsing, I can depend on whoever it is to cut or to be in the right (place). And just play the easy game. We’re all just trying to make the easy play, fair play and play for each other selflessly”.
