What's important is they win the game, and for sure the NYK has matured already and they will be a better team this season compared to the previous. As usual, Randle always delivers in the regular season, and this season they have Fournier who is a legit shooter, they needed that if they are struggling inside.
I still have doubts with Randle that may ruin the Knicks team. I saw him at the crucial moments trying to take the outside shot for a winning moment even though it's Fournier who has the free space. That could have been an unselfish move if he passed it and he will still have half the credit for it. At the end he missed it and I am sure they will look at the replays even though they won the game. He has to learn more and being a team player is part of that.
I have this bad feeling that soon, the Knicks problem will be that everyone is trying to be a star and co-players being a threat to reach that instead of a team.
Sound pessimistic but that is how I see it. It's mostly the issue for a young core team.
Yeah, I agree with your observation, it seems that Randle really wanted to be the franchise player of the Knicks and should be the one taking the last shot. Unfortunately, he didn't make it and we all know that Fournier is a good outside shooter.
Hopefully this will not be the story of the Knicks this year, last year was very different though, everyone is contributing and making good plays and everyone can take the last shot.
