Jabari had a great game but this isn't the place for that discussion. Let's discuss you saying Russell has no superstar potential meanwhile top 5 C under 25 Nurkic isn't good enough to play right now according to Mike Malone. We can discuss Porzingis having PG fg % numbers and being on the decline but that's another thread for another dayBreh, how you gonna @ me today when you were Swayze yesterday?

Bu bu but D'angelo Russell can't be compared to Steph Curry
What the fukk you losers got to say now huh?
Aye @CantStop what's the record for most threes made by a rookie in a game?
It feels so good to have my evaluations about this kid turn out to be right. It feels so good

@Gil Scott-Heroin you still think Mudiay gone be better fukk nikka?
@NatiboyB you still think we shoulda picked Slowkafor now breh?
@Malta you still think he won't be a star know it all ass nikka?
But Okafor has been averaging 22 points per game since January. Towns is fifth in the NBA in double doubles, and already leading his team in defense and offensive efficiency. Porzingas leads all rookies in defense efficiency, and is already the Knicks best defensive player.

Clarkson is an inefficient no defense playing guard, there's nothing he excels at. Sure he's only 2 seasons in his pro career, but it doesn't make sense to max someone who can get replaced fairly easily. See if a team will be willing to offer something via sign and trade.
Nikkas really writing this kid off after 2 fukking summer League games.Much better players than Russell have played worse in SL.
The only reason he went high is because of the success stories of Harden and Curry last season. Average athletes who are both highly skilled and can create & score efficiently at an extremely high level and also have a great feel for the game.
I don't see him being anywhere near those two yet but this is one of those wait and see things for me. Unlike most of the other rookies he hasn't exactly been put in the best position to succeed. He's a rookie playing on a team with FOUR ball dominant guards. Kobe took 24 shots in 29 minutes, that fakkit Clarkson was waiving him offand we all know Nick Young & Lou Will don't care about nothing else but getting theirs. He's not going to get anywhere near enough touches with the way this Lakers roster is currently set up.
These sort of possessions happened way too many times.
Maybe I'm hating because his game is so ugly at the moment but unlike D'Angelo who's going to be a stud & Clarkson who will at least become a 6th man "instant offense" guard I don't see Randle in the Lakers' long term plans.
Damn, it feels good to be right. Looks like I'm a notorious Clarkson hater though.

Nah, this is the place for that discussion since you ducked out of that other thread but now wanna pump your chest out
How many superstars are there in the league right now, less than 5 right? And you want me to say Russell has superstar potential why? He doesn't no matter how hard you want to believe it. Damn, @CantStop gotta lie on me now too? Nurkic wasn't top 5, and he messed up his knee. We can discuss Porzingis all day, you wanna go that route brehbreh? Cause only one of these two players actually plays high level defense

I'm just saying daddy, I'm not impressed with empty numbers in blowout losses or against whack, whack teams. That said: you guys got a dimepiece for the future that can play ball.

He was just getting called a bust by fans and league execs a few months ago. How is he overhyped?Linsanity had a longer run than that
This thread represents how everything gets overhyped in sports.
Don't put Jah in there. Dude has been a net negative on the floor.
Towns/Porzingis are the future tho
Is there a place for centers that shoot 42% from the field? "Modern day centers don't need to shoot high %s" but let me stop here. I can't give away all my material for my next thread. You gon get this work. Be impressed by a 7'3 dude blocking shots brehsNah, this is the place for that discussion since you ducked out of that other thread but now wanna pump your chest out

He got that call from upstairs breh can't win to many games got that top 3 pick on the line this year is all about Kobe going out period good game for the rookie but we have won 12 games this year and we just beat a team that has won 17 nothing to see here
