its funny how Russell went from everyone's favorite prospect before the draft to now being a consensus bust.

I wonder if the team that selected him has anything to do with this change of heart by so many posters. :mjlol:

I was never high on him at all for a lofty draft position. I've been saying the lakers fukked up taking him over okafor. Even Mudiay would have been better. Can you imgaine a backcourt of Mudiay and Clarkson? He gained steam for whatever reason and everyone drank the kool-aid. Mitch kupchak is delusional thinking he'll be a superstar. He has near elite vision, nothing else he does is elite. Any good wing defender in college locked him up. His numbers were inflated b/c Thad Matta gave him the keys and let him drive the team however he wanted. Who else was going to play PG for OSU? shannon scott? hell no.

You think I base my opinion on Russell off of yesterday? :heh: you fool.

exactly this. The game yesterday only showed what I already saw in college.

:mjlol: Ok then what is he?

Enlighten us mr basketball genius

He's a better passing, much less athletic manu at absolute best. Parts of his game also sometimes reminds me of a L handed jrue holiday. None of these are bad ceilings for his career, he's just not the superstar he's been hyped to be.

Why isn't Wiggins playing. Oh that's right, after putting up empty average stats on the way to losing 60+ games, I'm sure in his mind he thinks he's too good for Summer League
