Russell is better than booker as a player already
:dwillhuh:

Booker is the better player right now. Their last matchup was the final nail in the coffin.
Any nikka who watches basketball fr can see that his potential is a lot higher than booker.
That's debatable.
He has way more tools to be successful than booker.
I agree, somewhat. Simply because he is a better playmaker/passer.
Booker is very good at what he do tho, hes one of my top 5 favorite players right now but Russell is better, probably better at everything than him but being a pure shooter and defensive wise
:dwillhuh:

He's a better scorer and defender, what are all these other things he's better at besides playmaking/passing?

@DonKnock breh, true or false: Gil-Scott has clowned the Rockets, relentlessly, over their non-existent and/or lazy defense the last few years?


Don't think he has any right to use performances against the Rockets as a measure of anything based on what all the horrible things he's said about the Rockets/Harden.
To add on from this - the Rockets were ranked 22nd on defense last season. The Nets are ranked 21st on defense this season. These are the facts, not whatever you think I said about their defense last season. How can you sit there and say I can't use Draymond's performance against a team ranked 22nd on defense last season, yet you're in here beating your chest when Randle put up 10 assists against the 21st ranked defense?

Which is more feminine? A poster on a message board making a sports prediction?

Or a poster on a message board pulling up a thread from two years ago to deflect from a totally different topic in which he is getting embarrassed beyond belief? :jbhmm:
What's feminine is you holding this grudge from two years ago. If I never ethered you in that thread you wouldn't be on my dikk now. It may be a different topic, but your juvenile insults stem from that thread.

Stop hating on the young bull Randle :blessed:

Come join the wagon breh :mjpls:
I think he's a good rotational/role player whose abilities have been allowed to shine under Walton (I'm pleased for him in that regard because I never like seeing players being held back). If y'all dudes wanna talk about what he's good at - that's fine we can do that. But just don't compare him to players like Jabari who have a better skillset and/or are a main option (who teams actually gameplan for) on their team. Are there some areas where Randle is better than Jabari... yes, but that doesn't mean he's the better player because he simply is not.

I mean shyt Jabari's been basically averaging around 20 PPG ever since the All-Star break of last season - Randle's career high is only 23 points. You do the math.

I don'tthink anyone's gonna argue Jabari's a better scorer. But Randle has been improving on that area and has been a good finisher so far :manny:

We've had certain posters in here that have been arguing Randle's the better scorer.

I guess he has (I'd say he's a lot smarter at picking his spots more than anything else - he knows his limitations more), yet a certain amount of his buckets are either clean up work or simple rolls.

Well, I'm not one of them.

If he had more length/athlecism, he could be a star :mjcry:

But I like his strength and how he uses it (nh) to get easier shots at the rim.

Russell better than Booker? Stop it...I ain't too heavy in the Randle vs Parker debate because ultimately it doesn't really matter and it's at least something to have a conversation about. However Booker is a much better player than Russell let's shut this shyt down real quick.

the argument was that Julius is a more efficient scorer
