You never watched him play.
LOL Russell is more prone to pounding the dribble because he can't penetrate and he is more of a guy who makes passes of advantages, not running offense and moving the ball side to side.
I've watched a lot of his games. He misses at the rim like everyone does but he gets to the basket with ease when he wants off the pump or PnR split and usually comes with a floater or a tricky shot so he doesn't get fouled as often as he needs to. Either way that's better than having almost no ability to shoot so the defense can clog the paint on your drives
He was the one of the only competent players on Ohio St. and he played 2 guard. When he gets drafted at PG and he has teammates he respects more the ball will be out of his hands more often than not, and that's where the shooting and vision comes into play
Didn't watch UNC, WISC, ARIZ, MARQUETTE, etc
He cleary struggles getting a step and clearly avoid contact at the cup.
Mudiay is already a good shooter 20 ft in and shot 34% from 3. The whole non shooter stuff is exaggerated.
I get he is the guy to hate like Wiggins last year by people who have no clue what to look at.

He clearly had issues getting in offense when he initiated often resulting in last minute shots or violations.
He is a Ginobili style passer.
BECAUSE HE PLAYED 2 GUARD 
We're done. You have your opinion, I have mine.

he's also an awful FT shooter and as an overall shooter he gets worse as the game goes along because of his form.
He just needs to correct where he catches the ball going into his shot and releasing at his apex.....the release and follow through are fine.

At the line it's the opposite. Release and follow through are OK, but he uses no knees
The evolution of big men seems to be bigs that can stretch the floor rather than post up, wouldn't the next evolution be bigs that could consistently hit 3's next and get even further away from the post? Especially once the next era of big men take to Anthony Davis' game, especially his off the dribble game on slow big men that can't keep in front of him.
Joel been out the game so long I can't believe I forgot about him. If the Sixers take Russell, all they need is nothing but shooters and develop more 3 & D players like Covington, than AD might have a challenger for his best big man crown in Joel. I'm just wondering if they would ship out Noel or not. Joel & Noel don't look like there games will fit offensively.
Blame KG for influencing these era of big men of wanting to be on the perimeter than wanting to be Duncan and not wanting to bang down low and avoiding contact. If you go by the evolution of bigs going away from the basket, there might be a better chance we see a 7 foot Steve Nash type of great big man shooter than another big that could ever do what Duncan can. Just look at the greatest big men in recent history, with Duncan, Hakeem, & Shaq in any order, there is a huge drop from that trio to there counter parts with no big men coming close to being anywhere on their level since the turn of the century and currently in basketball as well.
Nah bruh, the evolution of the game itself with all of these 3s means that at some point the post game is going to make a resurgence. Just look at the league right now and there's already a slow trickle of young centers hitting the league that have skills, and like @Kaedus pointed out there have been centers since Duncan that have post games, they just couldn't stay healthy. Right now, the PF position is going to develop into a spot where guys can hit the 3, but they'll also need to be able to post up or go off the dribble. There's going to be enough space for a guy with a post game to come into the league and be an absolute monster.
I think he will be fine with pro coaches
People are trying to play him off as a John Wall non-shooter and he aint
Even though he only shot 46% and made 36/78, his jump shot ain't that bad, his form is much better already. Even if he isn't a Laker, I hope he makes it big, the amount of hate he is getting is on some other shyt. 
Damn I know this ain't the place but has Shabaz had any issues with his Tourette's?

None. You don't realize he has it
