Average of 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game. It s said that you are a playoff softie. Now you re out of here, locking in a maximum salary contract

After the deal between Towns and Randall was completed last year, fans and the media were very questioning the Timberwolves. It is believed that in order to save money, the team sent Towns away, and the playoff softie Randall was destroying his future. After all, the Timberwolves just entered the Western Conference Finals last year, and their dual cores are very young, and they have the chance to compete for the championship. However, as the season progressed, Randall completely proved himself, especially in the playoffs. Randall was a tough guy, averaging 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game in the second round, and his contract was stable by 100 million yuan. In the regular season, Randall played 69 games, and he averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.5%. In the end, the Timberwolves achieved sixth place in the Western Conference. This result is not outstanding. Randall has also declined a lot compared to last year's average of 24+9+5. Before the playoffs, the outside world was even more unanimous in favor of the Timberwolves because Randall performed poorly in the previous playoffs, but this year he became the most stable second in charge in the league. In the first round of the playoffs, Randall faced James, and was also a top striker. The young Randall played unambiguously. After 5 games, Randall averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in 37 minutes per game, and maintained a 48% shooting percentage and a 39% three-point shooting percentage. Not only can he be inside and out, but he also has a comprehensive skill and excellent defense. Randall was very stable in 5 games, and the matchup also suppressed James, and the Timberwolves advanced easily 4-1. After winning the Lakers, many fans said that the Lakers' defense was poor and James was 40 years old, so Randle broke out. Randle will be revealed in the second round when he faces Green at DPOY level and the powerful Butler. But the result was a slap in the face, and the Timberwolves easily defeated the Warriors 4-1.

Randall faced the forward combination of Green + Butler, and he delivered a comprehensive data of 25.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 53%. He was very sharp on both ends of the offense and defense. He was also the best organizer of the team and also beat the Warriors' forward line. Randle's performance so far in the playoffs is beyond doubt. As the second in command, he is more stable than Edwards. Looking back now, although Towns was sent away, Randall and the team had a better chemistry.

The two-tower combination of Towns and Gobert are both center players, with one less ball holding point on the offensive end and easy to be targeted on the defensive end. After getting Randall, Gobert defended with all his strength. Randall not only had the ball on the offensive end, but also had a three-pointer. He was also a good organizer. He was perfectly adapted to Gobert and Edwards and had a good chemistry. Judging from this year's performance, Randall's contract is no longer suspense.
