The former Kentucky basketball standout, who tends to fly beneath the radar, has been one of the best players in the 2025 NBA playoffs so far.

Randle proved to be the perfect co-star to Anthony Edwards, who averaged 26.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists against the Warriors. The duo made Timberwolves franchise history in the process.

Since getting traded to Minnesota in October 2024, Randle has elevated his play. In Game 5 against Golden State, he poured in 29 points on 13-of-18 shooting, and over ten playoff games, he’s averaged 23.9 points at 50.9% efficiency.

Timberwolves stars Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle had a moment after teaming up to destroy the Warriors on Wednesday.
