Based on what though?

mudiay is quicker, stronger and has the build to create contact and finish at the basket against the nba bigs. he's better at running an offense and creating for others as well. again, russell is good but his learning curve to running an offense is bigger than mudiay's.

:dahell: Russell got a co sign from the logo and Rick Pitino. Two hall of famers. Jerry west swung the trade for Kobe. I think he knows talent when he sees it breh

Mudiay couldn't even beat a 40 year old Stephon Marbury in the Chinese league playoffs :mjlol:

So if they said Russell sucked would you be saying that instead?

i thought he was the best pg prospect in the draft due to him playing professionally and getting such a hard co sign from one of the goats, larry brown. the only thing he is missing is a consistent jumper but that can be fixed. everything else is nba ready.
Reminds me when paul and deron came out not saying they'll be on that same level out the gate but u can't go wrong with either...

I love both there games ...But i think Russell more polished

Hell yeah I would

But they said the opposite. I think Jerry west in the best bball talent evaluator around. Bar none, he said Kobe was gonna be a star and look how that turned out. He said the same thing about Russell so put two and two together :yeshrug: He set that a lakers run in motion with his evaluations

I trust Pitino too. He said Russell's the best passer he's seen in 30 years next to Magic. Pitino has been coaching since 75 and is one of the greatest to ever do it so....... Yeah put two and two together

i didn't say russell wasn't talented:francis:

i just think mudiay is the better pg

What makes you think that though?

We have seen Russell perform vs the highest talent in the NCAA....

For Mudiay, we have highlight clips of him cracking up other PGs from Sweeden? Japan? Local YMCA?

That was the issue with Mudiay all along, no one could gauge his talent correctly because we didn't even know the people he was playing against.

Some of us on the coli would look decent if we submitted videos of us playing ball at the local gym on Thursday nights... doesn't mean we can do that same shyt vs other top college players in the country.

I'll give you everything else but in what world is Mudiay better at running an offense and creating for others???

One of the main reasons Russell's draft stock shot through the roof is his ability to run a team and his ability to create for others :pachaha:

You right. I'm just saying Mudiay couldn't beat a 40 year old Marbury in the CBA playoffs which is true :yeshrug:

It's pretty obvious Russell's gonna be a star so that means nikkas will hate him now and in the future because of the team he'll be starring on :mjlol:

come one fam, he played in the chinese basketball association. the talent level is closer to teams in the euroleague than the ymca. he wasn't playing against scrubs over there.

I am telling you what GMs were saying all week up to the draft. They said they had no idea who he was playing against so they couldnt judge him correctly. I have no doubt him and Rusell be great PGs for 10+ years, but Russel was the safer pick.

All I know is i cant wait for the season, its going to be a good one
