Sounds like the young boy might not even be a complete player the way yall sideways hyping him.

lack basic basketball fundamentals and only rely on your superior athleticism brehsRose might be the worst starting guard in the League atm. He's completeright now. Tough to watch.
Pretty much, never give up draft picks in pursuit of mediocrity, even if they didn't want Noel they should have swung for the fences and drafted Giannis.

and just 
Dough Boy is physically weak as fukk. There were times last night where Denver players just manhandled him into the paint; on offense and defense. He's afraid of contact and has no fight in him whatsoever. Such a wasted pick.it's more about the skill set, talent and not being afraid to drive and make something happen than putting up good numbers right now. mudiay is explosive, fast first step and can create plays and he's just a rookie. once he gets a better grasp of the game then things will slow down for him and when he develops that jumper he's gonna beast. I think he'll be an upgrade over Lawson by the end of the season, but how high is his ceiling we'll have to wait and see. he has to learn to read defenses and work on his vision/passing to find the open man or cutter or he'll end up being a monta ellis type player, when he has the talent to be an elite PG in the league.
like @Malta said, deangelo will come off a screen slow and dribble to the top of the key or elbow and look for a cutter or the open man, but if it's not there then he'll just pull up for a shot or dribble some more. he struggles getting separation right now and can't create his own shot or drive to the basket for the defense to collapse on him/get to the line. he's only been to the FT line 2 times so farhe has his work cut out if he's not gonna be able to drive to the basket.

Bruh he's a rookie at least allow him to build up his strength and be a guy who can attack the paint every so often. It hasn't even been a year and you're acting like he can't get better.
the improvement in hassan's post game.....that hook shot
dude got a soft ass touch for a big man. there's no reason he shouldn't be the number 1 option on offense. the shyt infuriates me when the heat go 4-5 possessions without giving him the ball.
Will you guys be able to afford him in free agency?

What has he shown you to be so optimistic? He barely even tries on the court. His demeanor is the complete opposite of his fellow rookies or the other young guys on the team like Clarkson and Randle.
If you knew nothing about the previous couple drafts and saw the Lakers on TV, who would you think was the second overall pick and the 46th pick between Clarkson and Randle?
I'm not expecting explosive plays from Russell maybe that's why I don't have a problem with this demeanor thing people are talking about. He's a floor general who is going to pass first. He is often surveying the floor looking for the right read. He really isn't going to force things. I do want him to attack the paint more because I think his speed has been much aligned unnecessarily. It seems more unwillingness to attack which might just be about confidence. I'm not really worried about DLO because I've seen the positive things he can do on the court like last night when he constantly made the right pass. The scoring and other stuff will come but cmon breh just remember he's a rookie and have to be patient. Clarkson looked like trash before he went to the dleague last year so you have to be patient with these guys.
