Julius Randle (2014-2020)

Julius Randle turned his pro career’s best offensive season into a nice payday from the New York Knicks, and the 24-year-old should lead the club this coming season in scoring. Make no mistake about the reality that, after the Knicks missed out on Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and Zion Williamson, Randle was a consolation prize. If Randle’s 34.4 three-point shooting in 2018-19, the best of his career, remained true, New York would love if he entered the campaign shooting under 26 percent as a pro from beyond the arc.

Bam Adebayo (2017-2020)

The club guaranteed 22-year-old center Bam Adebayo a spot in the starting lineup when the Miami Heat sent Hassan Whiteside to the Portland Trail Blazers to acquire Jimmy Butler Adebayo spent 28 games during his second pro season. Adebayo fell short of a breakout season, averaging 8.9 PPG and 7.3 REB while flashing elite athleticism on defense, despite seeing his playing time go from 19.8 MIN to a rookie 23.3.
