The New York Knicks could not have been satisfied with their 2021-22 NBA season. After advancing to the playoffs the year before, they didn’t even make the play-in tournament.

Randle shouldn’t shoulder all of the blame. The Knicks had issues with roster construction as well. In particular, they could have used more depth at the point guard spot.
