D'Angelo Russell's terrible summer league

[Premeditated]

most of his terrible shooting game in the first 3 games too. He finally found his form in the latter stages. Plus he was getting use to the nba 3..

Thank god he said, he's going to hit the weights before training camp though because that lack of muscle definition cannot be allowed in the goat franchise.

Like I said, he is Manu but Mudiay will be better than Manu.

i don't see what he has to do with the Boston Celtics or their 17 NBA titles

Lakers took this bum over Okafor

then traded for Hibbert

Hes not manu. Totally different styles. Manu is a driver/scorer, Russell is a facilitator/shooter. Even tho he had a subpar summer league i could see him being the best player from this draft one day. Hes got a certain it factor plus even tho he is skilled in some ways he is the most unpolished of the earlier picks but has the fundamentals to build around.

Russell is a good, not great shooter.

They are both left dominant guards who are best at side PnR, catch n shoot, threading the needle to hit cutters and getting out in transition.

No. If he tries to play like manu he will be unsuccessful in theleague. I think if nash puts hiswing he will be special.

Doesn't have the handle nor is he crafty around the rim like Nash.

Its more than just passing to russell's game. He will never be the slasher scorer that manu is. It will ruin him, he will never be harden either. I can't really compare him to anyone, he has a one of a kind it to his game. Probably why the Lakers took him

Didn't say he should play like nash. He should just be under nash more than kobe because nash is more of a pick and roll player.

I agree but its the closest comp.



If you start at 1:30......DLo will never be that athlete so maybe old Manu is the best comp.

@potier i think what I'm trying to say is that every other player needs to fix something about their games to reach their full potential. He doesn't tho, ge just needs to improve on the things that he does well to do it. Hes a good shooter/Passer /rebounder/ game manager he just needs to become great at those things and the sky is the limit. I think he has the lowest floor out of the top picks but easily the highest ceiling.

Really? I think he has the lowest ceiling/highest floor with Okafor. Porzingis with muscle mass, Mudiay with a 3 point shot or Hezonja with a handle is scary.
