Randle is attempting far fewer shots and being asked to facilitate more often in his first season in Minnesota.

Julius Randle gave an unfortunately honest answer to a question about the Minnesota Timberwolves' offense. The Minnesota Timberwolves, after reaching the Western Conference Finals for just the second time in franchise history, are in a state of disarray, and Julius Randle isn't quite sure why.

The Minnesota Timberwolves were recently predicted to already move on from Julius Randle in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Over the last two games, which have been ugly losses to the Knicks and Warriors, Wolves fans on social media have started to sour on Randle. Not because of what he does on offense — he actually got off to a great start on that end against his former team — but because of his lack of effort on defense.

Julius Randle’s defensive struggles draw scrutiny after the Timberwolves’ loss to the Warriors, highlighting concerns about his commitment and impact.
