Julius Randle confident he can break sad Knicks’ All-Star drought

So much of last season was spent pining over the numerous All-Stars heading to free agency. So much of the offseason was spent lamenting how hard the Knicks swung and how badly they missed on every name planned for the Madison Square Garden marquee.

Julius Randle wasn’t the team’s first choice. He wasn’t where fans envisioned $63 million being spent.

But the former seventh-overall pick believes he is worthy of the team’s top billing.

He believes the Knicks might not have missed out on All-Stars this summer.

“I just feel like situation and opportunity,” said Randle, when asked why he can achieve his goal to play in the 2020 All-Star Game in Chicago.
