Nah I talked about two specific players who missed easy shots off his passes. You all in here BUBUBUT Mudiay only got one more assist.

Never watched enough of him to say he was a bust or whatever, but I know he was definitely overrated.
I wasn't buying the whole "highest percentage player to become a superstar" crap anyway, especially with his passing ability. He has nice passing ability, but a lot of those passes won't work in the NBA, and even if they do it won't happen often.
Plus you gotta realize you need chemistry. He probably had good chemistry with his teammates at OSU, whereas for the Lakers not really. And he led OSU also, whereas I bet Clarkson gets the rock more.
Go look at Denzel Valentine, Buddy Hield, Dude on North Carolina, Kris Dunn, Ben Simmons etc. None of these guys look that special besides for Kris Dunn and I don't know about the North Carolina guy. They are the top college players this season and they look like they'll come in and average 10 pts or so a game.
Go look at Mudiay. Dude played in China and did well. Why ain't he putting up good numbers this year? Plus his shooting needs work, maybe that's why.

This myth that D'angelo is not and has not been a good passer in the NBA needs to be put to bed.

Russel can ball definitely but ESPN's supserstar stat was some of the most
foolishness I ever seen. Both of them look like they'll be solid but if you let the Laker fans tell it Mudiay at best will have career averages of 3ppg and 5 assists. If you let the Laker haters tell it D'angelo is 100lbs overweight and couldn't lock someone down in a 60+ rec league.It wouldn't need to come to this if Lakers didn't make this out to be a thing.They both had a good game, one player's team lost and one player's team won, keep it moving.

Russell has been a great passer so far. What the hell are you talking about?

Never said he wasn't a good passer, and like I said in my other post I haven't watched him enough to judge. His passes aren't out of the world though, like the media claimed.Russell has been a great passer so far. What the hell are you talking about?

Lakers aint got that kinda spacing yet. Plus up into last week and half ago they were one of the most iso driven offense in the league. Don't know the numbers but i watch most games and they dont seem to get alot of transition opportunities. The passing will show once they have a more balanced roster out there.

Im sure he meant the spectacular passes like the vine obe from college that would make sportscenter and shyt
