Julius Randle’s shooting struggles have been apparent early on in this Knicks season, and Kendrick Perkins called him out about it.
Amid more shooting woes during the first half of the Knicks’ In-Season Tournament game against the Bucks on Friday night, ESPN analyst and former NBA center Kendrick Perkins had harsh words for Randle.
“Well, first, how about trying to pass the ball to one another? That’s the first thing,” Perkins said of the Knicks falling behind at the half. “It’s too much individual basketball and it starts with Julius Randle. Not only should the Knicks fans be frustrated with the way that he plays the game, but if I’m on his team, I’m frustrated.“There’s no way in hell that they’re in the film room watching their games and noticing that he is ball hogging, like he has to be unselfish.
Randle, who came into the game with a 27.6 field goal percentage, had another abysmal first half from the field, going 3-for-14 while going 1-for-6 beyond the 3-point arc. “I stay even,” Randle said after a loss to the Cavs this week, per The Post’s Stefan Bondy. “It’ll fall eventually. It’s a long season, 82-game season. I trust the work that I’ve put in on a day-to-day basis, so there’s no point in me being frustrated.”“I don’t doubt Julius at all,” Quickley said. “If you look at what he’s done since he’s been here, maybe two all-NBAs, two All-Stars.

“Julius Randle is so versatile. Sometimes, how about just go set a screen and roll, screen and pop?” Perkins suggested. “Do yourself a favor and allow others to get you easy baskets. You don’t have to show us that you’ve been working on your craft in the offseason.
