He was a massive plus on offense, but man was he putrid on D.

The Platonic Ideal of Randle (and Barrett) would make the Knicks an actual contender, in my book. I just don’t know if it’s possible to get them both to that level, much less simultaneously, for any length of time. We’ve seen it for Randle for long stretches, then not. We’ve seen it for Barrett for short stretches, then not.

It’s frustrating — I don’t feel that way about JHart, say, because he plays to what he is, and does it pretty well. Barrett and Randle run hot and cold.

What’s he worth?

I’d say about 15 RJs.
