As Julius Randle continues to face public criticism, his teammate and fellow Minnesota Timberwolves player Donte DiVincenzo sees a different side of the veteran forward – one that reveals strength, resilience, and an unshakable focus.
DiVincenzo, who arrived in Minnesota alongside Randle, spoke candidly about how much he respects the way Randle manages the pressure that comes with being in the spotlight.
“To see him carry the load, night in and night out, everybody knows how much stuff he deals with, everybody knows how much flak he [catches], and he doesn’t let it faze him, he doesn’t let it bother him,” DiVincenzo said.
Having witnessed Randle’s work ethic and mindset up close, DiVincenzo praised his teammate’s ability to lead through example – even amid widespread doubt and criticism.
For DiVincenzo, Randle’s approach is more than just admirable – it’s inspirational. It shows that behind the headlines and harsh commentary is a player who has learned to focus inward, staying grounded and committed no matter the noise outside.
