good lord this is pathetic. when people saw superstar status in Russell, they didnt mean year two. he obviously has all the tools needed to be a star in today's league.

19/6/5 per 36 is impressive for a 2nd year player

regardless, Russell potential stardom has been a legitly debated topic

meanwhile only you two think Mudiay will be anymore than a rich man's Smush Parker at this point

His lack of athleticism hurts him a lot.

it really doesnt. he gets to any spot he wants to, and penetrates based off IQ alone. he finishing on a 52% clip around the rim, that would indicate his athleticism isnt hurting him. most of his offensive struggles have been on right mid-range jumpers and deep 3's, you can look at his shot chart here. he should be shooting better, but based off the eye test, his jumper is the least of my worries.

my premises was that if he played average NBA starter minutes, which I thought he would, he would be awfully close to that number.

There are only 2 starting PG's in the league that play less minutes than Russell. The average starting PG plays around 32mpg..in games where Russell has played that many minutes, he averages 19/5/5. so no, what I said wasnt a stretch. the fact that you have to resort to disingenuous arguments is pretty telling of you. you know damn well I wasnt expecting dude to be playing 26mpg

@tremonthustler1

Remember when i said 19/5/6 was his floor for next season?

I was dead ass serious.
:mjlol:

You said his floor would be 19/5/6 - you were wrong. lol at you trying to say now he would be awfully close to those #s as if that means "his floor". Even if we were to shift the goalposts for you for average minutes (32 per game), you'd still be wrong.

lol at me resorting to disingenuous arguments after you've built an entire posting career on them. Keep telling us how Randle is gonna average 30/10 next season. Keep telling us how Randle is gonna be an All-Star for many years to come.

Its a factual statement that he averages 19/5/5 when he plays league average starter starter minutes. I dont care to argue this anymore.

You said the average starting PG plays 32mpg - D'Angelo only scores 17 ppg per 32 minutes. And you said 19 ppg was his floor (the absolute lowest he'd average), quite clearly you were wrong.
