mark my words. d'angelo russell will be an allstar starter before okafor/towns

[kennethgriffin]

Okafor just spams that drop step spin move hook/layup all day. Will get blocked by any legit defender or help defense


Russell didnt go off due to clarksons dominance. But the few times he was allowed to create i could see flashes of brilliance in his passing. That backdoor cut when he threaded the needle with backspin showed me 10 times more of whats to come than any okafor travel/slide of pivot foot


Okafor is good. But not for todays game. Russell is born to play in the steph curry era. Slow paced strategic artistry/ pace with creation for himself or others


Clarkson is just an attack mode ball dominant 2 guard like kobe. So it kind of inhibits russells gameplan

The 2 shouldnt be on the floor at the same time.

His passing and vision is off the charts but what worries me is his lack of suddenness. Even a guy like Ginobli and Harden possess quickness at times, which is crucial. I never saw any of that. He doesn't have light feet.

My fear is he turns into just a great passer and not a great scorer. I want to see him break down set defenders. Almost every time he had situations to create against set defenders, he chose to defer. But only 2 games in. Way too small of a sample size to make concrete assessments.

[kennethgriffin]

Get used to it. Russell is the future of this organization


Scott said he had "the it factor" ... so regardless hes gonna be given the time and opportunity to be great


Okafor on the other hand will get buried in philly under the tank peogram

[outbreak]

He's a decent guard in a league full of decent guards. He will be a solid starter but don't see the major hype on him.

Hes a pass first pg that utilizes screens/cuts from others and sees everyone/everything before it happens.

Manu and harden are attack the basket to draw defenders that already have their mind made up whom theyre gonna pass too


Russell is more of a nash type assist guy that will get 15ppg but also get 10 assists at the same time... atleast when his prime rolls around.


I dont see a 22-23ppg / 7-8 assists out of him


Clarkson seems to be the scorer for the lakers future

[kennethgriffin]

Magic
Stockton

All had slow first steps.. guess what else they all have in common



Quick attacking pg's are just more likely to be injured or lose their power over the defense later on.

My fear is that he is Kendall Marshall, a brilliant passer and not much else. He doesn't hardly come off the ground when he shoots the ball, and he hasn't shown that he can drive the ball effectively to the rim. So far most of his shots have come off of screens, he's not getting by people. Hopefully he gets more aggressive and starts using that length to create something.

I was hoping for more. A guy who is not only a passing savant but also a guy who can break you down on iso and get his anytime he wanted with subtle skills, hestiations, change of pace etc like Ginobli and Harden annd not just a great pg who can shoot the ball. I wanted that superstar level impact, like a Curry.

Like I said, only 2 games in. Hope for the best.

Question for those calling him slow.....wouldn't Byron Scott and Mitch notice that about him in the workouts????

If he was that slow where it might be a big issue in the league, surely they would evaluate that weakness to the nth degree?

I think that Byron and Mitch know more about players and the game in their pinky than most of us here, especially since they were players themselves.

Well, Russell is several inches taller and much longer so that helps. But that is the worst case scenario. A guy who is a gifted passer but his lack of quickness just limits what he can do at the NBA level.

But key point, only 2 games in.

well he has to wait when Westbrook,Harden,Lillard, Paul,Thompson, Curry fall off.

Nash won mvp with 15/10

And this is the lakers.


Kobe made the starting spot in 98 with 15ppg and he didnt have anywhere near 10apg..


Trust me.. russells career will get an earlier push than okafor just from his market/fan power


We live in a marketing /branding star creating league. Allot of guys you rarely hear about could be the next "one" but dont have the outlet.



Theres guys in the nba as good as current stars that never get the green light or opportunity. .. russells already been handed the keys to the #1 franchise of all time in his rookie year and been called "the it factor" by his coach


Dude is destined for greatness whether people like it or not


During the summer league philly/lakers highlights on youtube. All you hear about is reggie talking about russell. Not okafor.

If it was okafor who was drafted by the lakers they woulda been stroking his dick instead


I aint gonna lie and say kobe never get some special treatment from popularoty/exposure by the media


They sucked kobes dick hard as f*ck from 1998 till 2003... then the rape thing happened and they turned on him.. they tried to bury his career but he turned out to be better than their mass marketing even made him out to be and shat down their throats during years they were trying to boost lebron




We just have to hope the media doesnt turn on russell.

With all the really good guards in the West? I doubt it

I think people are underating Russell athleticism give him few years of training and adding muscle core strength at gym you'll see better athlete it takes time to develop few years. Bryon Scott training camps are brutal conditioning wise you see players having tired legs with no lift or explosion.

Yeah, folks, Kobe Bryant, one of the most deadly scorers ever (arguably GOAT or at least top 3 or so when it comes to "on fire" scoring), a guy who's hit more "bullshit" shots than probably anyone ever, a guy who averages 25/5/5 for his career and has a resume that excedes 99% of players ever....

You can still spot certain things in summer league or any basketball game for that matter.
You look for the guys that flash rare athleticism or a rare trait. Like last year, using the eye test, it was so obvious to me that Clarkson had elite NBA level athleticism. Also, that Randle had a rare combo of size/power/speed. His quickness and first step was rare and so was his natural strength. That doesn't mean you will be good but you look for things like that. A guy having a good shooting game means nothing.

[dreamwarrior]

I think he's faster than he's shown. My standing vert is 31" just like his, and my max is also 31" but his is 39". That requires a lot of explosiveness. So I know he has it in him.

I agree with you. I don't think Russell and Clarkson compliment each other. They both need the ball to be at their very best. You add Kobe to the mix and one ball is not enough. I think Clarkson will have to come off the bench. Him, Swaggy P, Lou and Nance will push the tempo off the bench.

Clarkson and Russell will play together. In my opinion the Lakers are modeling their rebuild after the Warriors.

Curry and Thomspon = Clarkson and Russell

Draymond Green = Randle

Thompson does not need the ball to be effective. He's more of catch and shoot guy that can also create his own shot but he's more effective without the ball. His game compliments Curry.

Randle is another guy who need the ball. I'm hoping him and Russell can develop the pick and roll but he need to develop his jumpshot first.

Why? When Shaq left, Kobe already had 3 rings under his belt and was a lethal scorer and proven in the playoffs.

When Kobe retires at the end of this year or the next, 'Angelo will be marginally better than he is right now, and with little hardware to show he belongs in the league. Some things you can't teach. He doesn't just fail the eye test, at this stage I almost want to gouge my eyes out :facepalm

When shaq left kobe was already a great player and the legit star of the team. Russell won't be either. This isn't a Lin case where all of asia loved him for being asian, the lakers don't have that pull. The games gone more global too, you see more varied fans around these days and more internaional players influencing who people follow.

2017 nba allstar starter = d'angelo russell

If not then 2018
We're waiting..

Well you were half right

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't see that you said starter. Honestly I don't know if either of them will ever be a starter but I'd bet my money on DLo since KAT will have to compete with Jokic every year assuming they both stay in the same conference.

back to the future predicted the cubs would win the 2015 world series... they won in 2016


it was still quite impressive. most people thought d'angelo would end up a scrub
