Julius Randle is the preparation for his 12th NBA season and was one of the more productive power, especially in the past five seasons. That has helped him to collect praises, including being called three All-Star and two all-NBA teams, and winning the most improved player in 2020-21. At the moment, however, that 2020-21 season looks like an out-of-one year, when it comes to his 3-point accuracy, and it would decrease the Timberwolves if he could approach it again.
Julius Randle made 41.1% of his 3-point attempts in 2020-21
In the 2019-2020 season, his first with the Knicks, Randle was one of the least accurate when it came to his shooting from outside. The 6-foot-9 ahead connected to only 27.7% of its 3-point attempts. Before that year, the seventh general choice in the NBA design of 2014 had made them only 30.7% clip during his career.
Fast forward per year, and Randle left 41.1% of his attempts outside the arch. Although he has remained a very good player since then, he has since had an under average 3-point percentage in the four seasons.
Randle turns 31 years old on November 29 and shot 33% of 3-point reach since the 2021-22 season. In 2024-25, his first year with the Timberwolves, he made 34.4% from 3-point territory. That is his best percentage in the past four seasons. Randle also yielded 38.5 percent of his 3-point shots in the play-offs.
Again, that 2020-21 season can just stay a biter for the rest of his career. But with Anthony Edwards who demands so much attention, it would be huge if Randle could increase accuracy to at least 37-38% and there is evidence that suggests that this is possible.
Wolves hope to replace part of the three-point shooting of Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Last season Minnesota was one of the better teams when it came to 3-point shooting. They finished fourth in accuracy (37.7%) and fifth in brands (1,233). They dropped to 35.8% in the play -offs. although.
They also lost Nickeil Alexander-Walker in a free desk on the Hawks. Alexander-Walker made 1.7 three per match in the last two seasons for the wolves while she shot them on a clip of 38.6%. He combined to shoot 38.4% with Jazz and Minnesota in 2022-23.
Young players such as Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. Have the opportunity to replace those 3-point skills with more playing time. Nevertheless, if Randle can even be a slightly above-average 3-point shooter in 2025-26, there could be the chance for the Timberwolves to use the outer shot in a way that is similar to the Celtics in their 2023-24 season championship.
