Julius Randle DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle led his squad with 24 points in Wednesday's disappointing 124-94 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, which ended the team's season. Randle finished 8-for-14 from the field and went 4-for-6 from three-point land, adding five rebounds, three assists, and one steal to his tally. The 30-year-old impressed through the first two series during the postseason but had a tough time against the Thunder, finishing two games with single-digit scoring. A second consecutive trip to the Western Conference Finals shows that Minnesota's move to acquire Randle worked out well, though he did not reach the level of play that earned him All-Star honors in New York. Randle's numbers dipped across the board, as he averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists across 69 regular-season appearances.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle maintained his hot hand in Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder but couldn't save his squad from a 114-88 defeat. The former Knick put up a team-high 28 points on 9-for-13 shooting, tallying eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal. Randle made five triples with six attempts but also committed five turnovers in the game. While Randle has been hot offensively in the postseason, his ball-handling has been poor in recent games, with this being his fourth consecutive outing with at least four turnovers. Against a top team like the Thunder, Minnesota cannot afford any sloppiness in its game, and Randle must lead the way alongside Anthony Edwards.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle scored a game-high 29 points on 13-for-18 shooting as the team eliminated the Golden State Warriors from the playoffs with a 121-110 win on Wednesday. It was a slow start for Randle, who managed only five points in the opening frame, but he impressed throughout the series, and Golden State struggled to contain him once again. The three-time All-Star shot 2-for-6 from three-point range and added eight rebounds and five assists to his line. While Randle did plenty of offensive damage against the Warriors, averaging 25.2 points per game, he must improve his ball-handling in the Western Conference Finals. He gave up the rock at least three times in four of five games, committing a total of 18 turnovers.
