Everything is new and fresh to Julius Randle. It’s why he felt it important to get together with six of his teammates in Los Angeles last month to bond and work out.
It’s also why he wanted to be at Rucker Park on Saturday to get a feel of New York culture.
The Knicks’ marquee signing handed out back-to-school bookbags at a kids festival in the iconic Harlem park. The 6-foot-9 power forward never played here during the summer as many NBA players have, but he wanted to experience it.
“Actually, it’s my first time here,’’ the Texas-born Randle told The Post.
