[#1 pick]

he's a PG

No he is not. Just because he can pass his ass off don't make him a PG. He has no feel for the game as a PG. He is at his best running off of screens, making quick reads that don't have a high usage which LA system is a VERY high PG usage system and a system based on quick reads which LA doesn't do. He would be fine with a team like Boston, ATL, SA, GS and teams like that but LA is a terrible fit for him.

D'angelo Russell=Trey Burke/Rubio

Overhyped PG who will only amount to being a solid player/great backup guard

Rubio is a much better PG. He's a much better player than Burke as he can play and he a decent SG from the start. His ability to play off the ball and size to be a SG makes him a superior player compared to Burke. The problem is, he is not a PG.

They are either idiots or trolls

I'm a Celtic fan, why would I not laugh at the lakers of all teams?

I think Russell will be good, but he needs 3 rounds of P90X before the start of the season, no excuse for a 19 year old athlete to be so flabby looking.

Agreed

His passing ability is unreal

He needs some serious conditioning though

Kobe will whip him into shape

Russell look like he been eating snacks all summer

Anderson is gonna be nice

at the bolded. Russell will be alright...he's just having a rough summer league. Still not sure he can be a full time point but Clarkson will help a lot.

I agree,but Rubio is/was overhyped as he was looked at to as the next superstar point guard and he obviously is not that,I said all along D'angelo is no PG he is a 2 with good vision,he will come off the bench in LA.

Far as him and Burke Im not so sure if he could be a superior player compared to Burke Russell is extremely weak and has 0 athletic ability what so ever,type of guy I think if his jumper isn't falling he is a non factor,as his jumper is going to be the main thing that opens up the rest of his game.

We shall see

Pass on Okafor brehs

I think Russell will be fine but Okafor is arguably the best offensive talent in the draft

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

KAT looking solid early. Some nice variation on offense and some nice rotations on pick and roll D

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

Vonleh vs Towns will be a good matchup

He's not shooting good enough nor attacking well enough to be a SG. He's just going to have to learn the PG position and get better. Lakers have invested in him at PG.

Makes no sense then,he will never start at PG with Clarkson there

Russell will have to get better. Clarkson can play either guard spot because he's such a good potential scorer. He seems to have more slasher/scorer instincts then PG instincts.

 

[Box Factory]

Towns movement and agility is pretty impressive for a guy that size, he just rotated down from the top of the key to protect the rim in like half a second.

Sometimes he seems a lil underwhelming and then I see something like that and I'm like "yeah I get it "
