Randle is attempting far fewer shots and being asked to facilitate more often in his first season in Minnesota.

Julius Randle’s struggles with ball movement and defensive disengagement when his offense isn’t flowing were issues in New York, and they persist in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Timberwolves were recently predicted to already move on from Julius Randle in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Randle arrived in Minnesota this offseason as part of a blockbuster deal that sent forward Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks. After his excellent performance on Wednesday, the three-time All-Star admitted he has struggled to fit in as more of a facilitator in the Timberwolves' offense rather than a scorer.

Julius Randle’s defensive struggles draw scrutiny after the Timberwolves’ loss to the Warriors, highlighting concerns about his commitment and impact.
