Randle is on a scoring binge right now, averaging 25.8 points over his past 13 games. He’s shooting 60 percent on 2-pointers and 37 percent on 3s during the hot streak. But the buckets aren’t the most impressive part of this run.

The just-turned-29-year-old has been in the league for a decade, has averaged more assists than he’s churning out right now, has landed on two All-NBA teams and two All-Star teams — and he’s never facilitated as well as he has for the past month-plus. There’s a strong argument that, even including his frigid first six games, this is the best passing season of Randle’s career.

Randle’s biggest offensive flaw has always been recognizing double-teams — particularly ones that come from the baseline. When he notices defenders approaching, his game can turn beautiful, but too often he recognizes them just a smidge late, which leads to turnovers or sloppy possessions.

That’s not happening lately.

A season after jacking up more 3s than ever, Randle is drifting down low and playing with his back to the basket. And it’s working — namely because Randle has never during his Knicks tenure posted up in the style he’s doing it now.

There is a vast difference between a 6-foot and 12-foot post-up. Randle is recognizing it now more than ever. He’s fighting for deep positioning, regularly stationing two feet in the paint, pulverizing one-on-one matchups, and when defenses collapse in on him, he’s flinging the world’s most contorted jump passes to 3-point shooters.
