Even if that's a joke there seems to be this group that thinks Russell's best position is 2 but he's definitely a 1 and he would be damn near useless at 2 unless he's taking the ball up as a 2

Which is why I wanna run a Clarkson/Russel back court and see what it looks like. Before we bring in the Super Saiyan 3 version of Clarkson :lupe:

I love Russell at the 2 actually. I want him to take after Brandon Roy. :ld:

That was never his game. Even at OSU, even though he played the 2 (which was a personnel decision based on height) he always was more of a pass first guy that needed to organize the offense and set up plays. At the 2, rather than Brandon Roy, think OKC James Harden

Russell will never have Harden or Roy's bully ball strength to finish through contact.

I'd rather not disrespek the nikka by comparing him to Harden but honestly that's also who I had in mind for him. I just think he'd be more lethal as a passing 2 and we put more of a dynamic scorer at the 1.

Why not?

He played mostly from the perimeter in OKC, mostly as a set up man and 3 ball guy. Didn't really incorporate bully ball until 1st yea in houston
Nah he could already do all that shyt. He was a better drive and distribute guy than Russ most nights.
