D angel russell was looking mighty *vid*

[NYC Rebel]

the question then is whether he needs to be in a strict continuity offense versus a more free flowing system. I haven't watched him previously, what type of offenses has he been in before?

I haven't watched much of him either. I have the same questions. The few times I watched him, he was pin point accurate hitting open players

This narrative of russell being a pass first PG is basura. Dude is simply a playmaker, he is not a PG at all. He's as much a PG as manu is, which is not at all.

Just be real with me no fanboy shyt I like fukking with you LWO dudes. What was the point of drafting Russell when yall have the God already balling last year? Plus you would take a risk in embiid when you tanking every year getting draft picks I will take that risk any day

This is Lob City nicca not LWO

How he is not a PG? Explain that and give proof

Nobody who isn't a point guard passes like that. Nobody

@Poitier already answered, but I'll add my own 2 cents. He has great vision, but a couple fancy passes that make oohs and ah's out of the crowd doesn't mean he's a point guard. He got away with that at the college level against college competition. He had a high usage rate at OSU d/t their lineup, and was bound to put up numbers on that team. His numbers against top 60 opponents or NBA level athletes are very poor. He has never been a true PG. At montverde, kasey hill was PG. Russell is an off-guard or just a "guard" period with below average athleticism, a decent shot out to the college 3 (TBD on NBA 3), and good playmaking ability/vision.

Russell is a better passer than all of them except Lebron and if teams had a competent backup small forward to plug in they would play Lebron at point

Just admit you hate Russell already

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?

My biggest problem with russel is not really what hes doing on the court its is ability i question, He cant beat his man off the dribble... he just cant.

People just aren't getting this...

It's only going to get worse playing with Kobe, Lou Will, Clarkson and Nick Young.........I don't see how his development isn't hurt when they realize I'm better than this guy. lol

How is his ability to get by his man going to get worse from playing with Kobe?
