His game has spoke for itself this season. He's been a dominant finisher at the rim, elite rebounder, plus defender, and really good shooter. Its no question that he has played a major part in all of our wins this year even when his offense wasn't clicking( which was a very rare sighting). More importantly, his passing has been a major boost to this team and despite playing with less talented roster, he's been putting people in positions to succeed. There is no question that if he played like this 5-10 years ago, this wouldn't even be up for debate. However, I think we are in the most talented era of the NBA where you really need to standout, so below is a list of the best performers in the East this year. Do you think he cracks the top 12? Currently 20 names on this list. I starred the names that I think Randle has clearly outperformed. The rest I believe is a harder discussion.
