Over the last year, the New York basketball team has taken on the "Nova Knicks" moniker thanks to its not-so-secretive plan to pair as many former Villanova players together as humanly possible.
While the strategy has led to great results, some have wondered if it has created even the slightest divide within the locker room. This worry, more often than not, centers around Julius Randle.
This isn’t to suggest that any of the Villanova players purposefully exclude Randle or that Randle isolates himself. However, it’s natural to believe that Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Mikal Bridges have a closer relationship given their past.
