There are notable basketball analysts and statisticians criticizing him....

I think people recognize it's just summer league but don't think people don't see his short comings and if those short comings continue to give him problems, it's gonna be hard to start him & get him the necessary development on a team with Kobe/Lou/Clarkson/Nick. I really hate this situation for him with all these guards who may pass it to and never see it again.
Ima need you to quote these notable basketball analysts and statsticians. I need receipts

And how is it going to be hard to start him? Who's good snouty to start over him that plays his position? Lou Williams? He's a bench player in this league and he embraces it

Nick Young? :mjlol: Let me guess you think nick Young is some great offensive player that is being held back by playing with Kobe huh?

Byron Scott already said that Kobe will be playing a lot of 3 this year so there's that. He also said that he wants Clarkson and Russell playing together. So who else is to a start over him?

I need those receipts on these notable basketball analysts and their criticisms of him.

Just follow NBA Twitter

literally go through @haralabob's feed and check who he follows...

Not saying Nick and Lou are starting caliber players in this league but there's no doubt in my mind Lou is better than dude right now.

:dahell: breh I ask you for receipts on these notable analysts and you give me this??

Like I said in the real world no one is criticizing him but the experts on here and you just proved it.

But did you just say Lou Will is better than Russell?

Let me get this straight, you're saying a 10 year Nba veteran who just won sixth man of the year and averaged close to 20 a game is better right now than a 19 year old with three games of summer league experience?


:snoop: No fukkin shyt breh :russ: he's 19! :mindblown:

Kasey Hill was the point guard only because he had too much talent to bring off the bench. If you ask Billy Donovan or any coach on any level in basketball who would they rather have running the show for them Russell or Hill who do you think they would choose?

Be honest when you answer. Who do you think they would choose?

Kasey Hill graduated a year before him. What was he doing his senior year? He's a guard that can play either position. He's simply not playing well.

Kasey Hill is a pure PG, d'angelo is not, which is the point of this thread and my comments. Put d'angelo last year on another team with a competent guard outside of shannon scott and he's playing the 2 or backing up at the PG spot. He would not have started over tyus jones, tj mcconnell, and many other pure PGs. He played primary ballhandler by default at OSU out of necessity. Were he at florida, he would start in the backcourt with hill, and not in place of him.

Kasey Hill was also a senior and was better than him at that time, and he has to play a position too. And since D'Angelo was/is a better shooter why not have Kasey handle the ball?

He's a guard who can play either position. This distinction you're trying to make doesn't really work especially as he's played the lead guard/point guard for Montverde, the same at Ohio State and now is being groomed for that position with the Lakers.
