I don't watch box scores.
I've seen great strides but tonight he was ass, I can admit that. Mudiay shooting 30% from the field yet he gets a pass because he passes the eye test.
If anyone deserves hate tonight, it's Julius Randle. I'm a top 4 Randle stan worldwide but god damn Alex Len was in his ass.
to me, I just don't see superstar at all. If he had elite quickness and wasn't playing well I'd feel differently.
Bledsoe and Dragic played well together too. It was when they brought in the others that fukked everything up.
I don't think he is a superstar either but he'll be a good player but he's 19 years old playing on a flawed roster for a trash coach. You gave Dante Exum a season pass but Russell gets the axe.Where did I say anything about Mudiay?
The lack of footspeed is just
Dough Boy and Randle should be coming off the bench like I said before the season. Neither is a superstar but they'll get better minutes off the bench.Where did I say anything about Mudiay?

either you're quick or you're not, and his lack of footspeed is shocking for someone that's 19.Missing shots isn't even a worry. That can be fixed. Look at Ben Mclemore his rookie year. He can hit those shots but he's adjusting to a different role where he's asked to be a spot up shooter instead where in college he would pull up. Give him time. You people....Dough Boy and Randle should be coming off the bench like I said before the season. Neither is a superstar but they'll get better minutes off the bench.
The worst part about Russell is teams are giving him all these wide open looks he keeps bricking. They sag when he comes off the screen or they go under.
The game plan is to give the #2 pick in the draft open looks.
He gets plenty of chances to pull up. They play off him on every pick and roll. He's missing most of his shots, regardless of how he's getting them.
You must love Ish Smith. This isn't the NFL, speed doesn't make you better than the next man. Russell wasn't running past dudes in college either so why the shock now?If I looked for "Superstar" and his name I'm sure I'd see you and the Laker fans calling him that all summer.
Exum had a first step, he could get by people but couldn't finish yet, the quickness was there just needed to work on his body. Russell can't get by Jose Calderon
So what? Look at every top pick their rookie year, they were averaging 40% or below. It's called adjusting and improving.
He played in the Big 10 where the average pace is screwed and chopped
There's like no drop-off between him and HuertasIf I looked for "Superstar" and his name I'm sure I'd see you and the Laker fans calling him that all summer.

He's 19, 11 games into his career. Bruh, you sound crazy. No one knows what's gonna happen. Who predicted Steph Curry to be who he is when he was 11 games into his career? Give him time to develop. 1/8th in his rookie season and he's a bust.Ish Smith is 5'11", if he were 6'4" with that quickness and speed he'd be a star..
Russell also wasn't scoring against NBA level defenders in college either, but you looked past that, right? LWO got at me over the summer cause I said I didn't see superstar, his ceiling was Manu which is would be great but passing two bigs for him?
