HYBRID
NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, (NEW WAVE) PLAYMAKING 4
A hard-charging cannonball w/ crazy power & explosiveness – Randle’s a four man w/ an unorthodox but highly effective style; legit breakdown guy at 6’8, 250 – Randle uses his quickness to get by his man – if that doesn’t work, he’ll pull out a couple in & out hezzies (with his off hand) before getting back to his more favorable left hand; w/ great power, comes great responsibility: Randle's learned to channel his energy, attack mismatches & go to work; underrated hook game: soft touch despite shaky aesthetics; very effective playmaker, able to consistently hit teammates after drawing defensive attention; ideal, open court athlete – able to both fill the break & handle in space; much improved outside game – loves elbow treys, not afraid to launch if given any room; returned to All-Star status in 2024 – when Randle’s operating at max level, Knicks are extremely competitive
