Last year's efficiency looks like it was a fluke for Randle. I don't think the current Randle really adds very much that will help win games. If you like last year's Randle you may as well go after the highly efficient John Collins instead. I think Collins helps you win games even though he isn't the playmaker that we are all craving. I've liked some of the Collins trade proposals that I've seen on here centering around Smart/Horford/draft pick.
It probably was. I don’t think Randle is 1st option/best player material, which is what the Knicks are doing right now, and he crept up on a lot of teams last year. If Collins was the Hawks best player, he wouldn’t be doing too well nor would he be as efficient as he is today.
Anyway, Randle as 2nd (or maybe 3rd), I think he will look very good.
