He did it vs the kings and clippers 2 on Christmas and they were down over 20 both games. He has the ultimate it factor, if he can learn to consistently get 2 the line then he will be a star
Okafor damn near at 20 ppg as a rookie on over 50% shooting and nikkas shyt on him because his defense isn't up to par as a 20 yr old
I didn't say D-Lo would be a bust either, shyt I wanted the nikka in the draft
And I'd bet your fanbase would trade Okafor for Russell in a second. I don't think Okafor is worth more than Noel right now or ever will be as it relates to wins.

2nd option at best...we can revisit once the Lakers aren't garbage
He dont have a second option kind of game. The lakers are going as far as he is going to take them, even if we are lucky enough to draft ben Simmons its still going to go as far as d'angelo goes.

I wouldnt go that far oak is clearly better than noel
Has the same game as Manu so 2nd/3rd option IMO.

Nah. Hes no manu, in a good or bad way.
Have to disagree..he def aint Curry/Roy/Harden.

1's; Russell doesn't consistently get into the paint like those two can. Russell's been a 2 his whole life. The push to make him a PG never made sense, especially when he's 6'5".
Let Clarkson be the PG like he's always been and have Russell focus on scoring first. He's always gonna make the right passes when the opportunities present themselves.
In terms of scoring he's more valuable but I think the statistics favor Noel when it comes to team efficiency on both offensive and defensive ends.

Hopefully he will just become himself, who saw those three players becoming what they are tho. They all had doubts about them 2 especially in their rookie seasons.
We probably would do that but not because Russell is so much better, it's because we got too many bigs and it's a log jam right now. shyt I'd trade for CJ McCollum if I could.

Id rather build around him that noel
Roy and Curry were clearly better day 1.
