D'Angelo "bust" Russell drops 39 points, 8 3s, #LOADING

[King Biko]

No he wasn't

Yes he was. Steph had to grow to become the ball handler and finisher that he is 2day

Def was a better shooter and ball handler than b roy coming out of college

And Russell isn't a good finisher.

Roy was definitely a better handler.

Nah. Russell is great at finishing around the rim.

And just no to the second part

 

[I AM WARHOL]

You can't go wrong drafting shooters

Unless they're cacs who can't shoot off the dribble

What I've been trying to argue is that the positions don't matter much anymore in the modern age...there is a lot of ambiguity.

Are you saying that Russell has the best scoring package, should be the #1 option, and has the better chance to guard 2's, so he should be a 2? Moving Russell to the 2 actually removes a lot of advantages he has over point guards. He can see the floor over, shoot over, and/or post most 1's.

He has a quick release, so he can always get his shot off, regardless of defender size and how often is he really gonna post up in this era? His vision isn't going to be affected by size either.

Edit: Russell has complained about playing the point. Why do you and so many people want to force him to play something he isn't comfortable with? He's been a shooting guard his entire life.

 

[King Biko]

U obviously don't watch him. Atleast not with an unbias eye

 

[Dwight Howard]

He's finishing at a 60% rate at the rim...

He hasn't complained about running the Point. He says he's never done it, doesn't mean he can't

50% which is bad.

He's shooting 61.9% (according to basketball reference) from 0-3 ft which is pretty good for a rookie guard. Russell>LeVert
