Now armed with a 3-1 record since the All-Star break, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been winning, but it hasn’t really been in impressive fashion. Anthony Edwards is likely to finish as the league’s leading scorer for the month of February, but the team’s second-leading scorer’s play has been confounding of late.
That is Julius Randle, of course. While his play on the defensive end at times can sometimes be described as lethargic, the three-time All-Star normally does his work on offense. Since the All-Star break, Randle has struggled to score, and it’s part of the reason why Minnesota has been unable to put games out of reach against inferior teams.
