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

[King Biko]

Well we can compare Russell's rim%s to a few other top star guards this season (according to NBA.com):

..............................Restricted Area................ Paint
D'Angelo Russell......60.9...........................46.2
Damian Lillard.............51.2............................32.4
James Harden............60.7.............................33.9
Russell Westbrook.....57.7.............................42.0


All those other guys are currently in their primes and shot worse as rookies. Of course this doesn't take in to account volume of shots, defenses being keyed on them, and other context, but the sample size shows Russell can in fact finish at the rim.

You can watch him and tell he can finish at the rim. Good off the ball and on the ball with both hands.

It feels good to be in the "I told you so" camp

i don't know how you could watch his college highlights and not believe this kid will be good. It's only now he goes off once Byron gets rid of the shackles and changes to a motion offense, something that Russell can thrive in like college.

[YourMajesty]

So if you're so confident,

I want to see it in writing,

post Cameron Payne is better than Russell or Cameron Payne will be better than Russell.

I need a new sig.

He is shooting 46% in the paint NBA.com/Stats

Basketball Reference is a joke.

No nikka you the joke. Even after numerous pieces of evidence to the contrary you were still propping up that bum Mudiay and tryna shyt on Russell talking bout he was a bust

If Russell is a bust then what does that make Mudiay?
