I wouldn't disagree with you cause I can admit as such.

Unlike some other disappear act fakkit.

If we keep our pick, we will move Russell to the 2.


Im just trolling my G :russ: Lonzo Ball would be a great ass fit for the Lakers with him and DRuss in the backcourt.

How long are y'all muhfukkas gonna keep peddling this lie?

You know what's funny in all this, is that you called this post "sensible" when it has been my exact position all along (and I've stated as such) -
I think Mudiay has a higher ceiling than Russell, but Russell himself has a higher ceiling at the 2 than he does PG.

Now THIS is a sensible post.
So why is that take "sensible" and mine not, when they're both the exact same thing, or do you just like regurgitating all the bullshyt that LWO feeds you? :patrice:

Offensive End

Isolation Scoring Efficiency – Mudiay is a gifted one-on- one player, averaging .95 points per possession, ranking him in the 73rd percentile in the league. His loves to ISO defenders from the top of the key and drive them hard left. He can change direction via his spin move and has a silky smooth fade away mid range jumper that he uses to create space for scoring opportunities.

From the top of the key, Mudiay ranks as the 5th most efficient one-on- one player in the league.

ISO Facilitation for Teammates – When taking his man off of the dribble, Mudiay does a superb job of finding teammates. So far this season, he is the second best player in the league (99th percentile), in finding teammates for scoring opportunities when going one-on- one. Mudiay is averaging 1.5 points per possession in these situations.
Take a look at how Mudiay gets to his spot by breaking his man down off of the dribble.

He possesses good poise when he gets in the lane. Because of this, he does a good job finding cutters and spot up jump shooters. Take note of how Mudiay gets to the dotted line area, comes to a jump stop on balance, and when the defense commits to him, he’s able to find Nikola Jokic for a lay-in. Finding a way to transfer the poise he exhibits when facilitating for teammates in ISO situations to other parts of his game will help Mudiay expedite improvement with the weaknesses in his game.

P&R Facilitation for teammates – Mudiay is also efficient finding teammates out of pick and roll action. Despite being just an average P&R player at this point, (in the 33rd percentile in the league), Mudiay ranks in the 79th and 66th percentiles in the league in scoring efficiency when hitting the roll man, and cutter, respectively, out of ball screen action per Synergy.
Interestingly, when hitting the spot up guy, Mudiay’s numbers are just average in P&Rs.

Defensive End

Guarding The P&R Ball handler – 40% of Mudiay’s defensive possessions are in pick and roll situations. This is a good thing, as Mudiay is a strong defender in these situations. He uses his length and good anticipation to make it hard for guards coming off ball screens. This season he ranks in the 68th percentile in PNR defensive efficiency. He is especially adept at trailing his offensive man over the pick and getting back in front of him or forcing him into the defensive help.
Below, Mudiay tracks Tony Parker under a ball screen and then recovers to chase him over another, forcing the Spurs guard into a turnover.

One-on-one defense - Mudiay’s isolation defense is also good. He ranks in the 50th percentile in the league in this regard. He seems to be more effective in right side ISO situations, where he has allowed just 6 points on 10 possessions. He does a decent job spacing players who like to drive it, making them take contested jump shots. Against shooters, he also does a good job crowding them off of their shot. Improving his ISO and overall defensive game could give him the chance to become an elite level defender in the league.

Perhaps y'all will get a better understanding of Mudiay's "ceiling" after reading this. :ufdup:

Wont hear me say that. But at 20 years of age and at his size I wouldn't give up on quite yet either. Even if he doesn't become the next Wall he could become the next Schroeder.
Lol no sir. Schroeder is quick and can blow by defenders if need be.

Mudiay has average athleticism and isn't very explosive. Combine that with his turnovers and awful shooting and you understand why Denver is thinking about dealing him

:dahell:

Do people actually watch these guys play before they spout nonsense? Mudiay can get by anyone and has no problem at all getting into the lane, he just has to improve his finishing/scoring

73rd percentile is gifted? :dahell:
For a 20-year-old in a vacuum - sure (Butler, LeBron, Harden and Melo are all ranked below him, and no that doesn't mean he's a better 1v1 scorer than they are). But then you have to take into account volume, role and the proper context. And I don't think it's saying he is gifted because of where he ranks, but gifted because of his ability.
