Julius Randle (2014-2020)

Julius Randle turned his best offensive season in the NBA into a hefty payday from the New York Knicks, and the 24-year-old should lead the team in scoring this season. Make no mistake about it: Randle was a consolation prize for the Knicks after they missed out on Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and Zion Williamson. If Randle’s 34.4 three-point shooting in 2018-19 maintained consistent, New York would rather that he enter the season shooting less than 26 percent from outside the arc as a pro.

Bam Adebayo (2017-2020)

When the Miami Heat traded Hassan Whiteside to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Jimmy Butler, the organization guaranteed 22-year-old center Bam Adebayo a starting spot. Adebayo appeared in 28 games during his second professional season. Adebayo fell short of a breakout season, posting 8.9 PPG and 7.3 REB while displaying top athleticism on defense despite seeing his playing time decrease from 19.8 MIN to a rookie 23.3 MIN.
