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.

Guards
Beal
Harden
Kyrie
Sexton
Young
Jaylen Brown
Malcom Brogdon*
Zach Lavine*

Forwards/Centers
Giannis
Middleton
Embiid
Durant
Tatum
Sabonis
Hayward*
Jerami Grant*
Julius Randle
Vucevic*
Adebayo*

I think Sabonis and Randle have played at about the same level. The other names are clearly ahead of Jules. Grant and Hayward are close, but I think Randle gets the edge.

Yeah Sabonis and Randle is way too close to call and given that they've done well this year with many injuries, one of of Brogdon/Sabonis is bound to make it.

The Future is Bright!

He deserves.. but competition is hard.
Too many all-NBA players.
Greek and Durant are set at PF
Embiid and Sabonis at center.
Will they even consider 5th big man?

I think he deserves it. When I look at all-stars I don’t just look at stats but how positively the player has helped the team and Randle has certainly helped the Knicks start to become respectable this year along with Thibs.

Randle deserves to make the All-Star team because of his passing, in addition to his scoring. What sets him apart from some other potential All-Stars.

He deserves it because of the level of importance to this team and because he never misses games.

Also deserving of a long term contract. One of my favorite players since the 90’s. The guy is a Knick. A bruiser and a hard worker. Flashes of Houston and Mason in his game. What a combo.
