Knicks fans boo all their draft picks the Lakers overrate all theirs. It's a tradition.

Well with the success that Lakers have with their draft picks can be easily the cause of optimism and seeing the glass half full.

alpha mentality
high praise from elite names/former/current players
#2 pick
#1 level projections
drafted by the #1 franchise in sports history
players "mesmerized" first day of practice
most confident rookie i've seen since kobe
hes already mastered nash type prime english curved passes before entering th eleague
players say he hits them at exactly the right time on cuts/breaks like no other theyve seen
he hit 90% threes in his audition
hes not an ugly babbling buffoon like okafor
hes charismatic
he vocally said he wants to lead from day one.
he said he'l treat every practice like its the playoffs



the kid can do no wrong so far in life. i see great things coming from him

Being a Laker fan myself, you are by far the most biased fan ive seen. You massively overrate anything related to Lakers and Kobe..

Objectivity is fine ..

he looks like he could be roses son. maybe he might be good after all.

I like Russell as a prospect. But for f**k's sake you've got Griff and other dumbass Laker/Kobe fans on here already hyping him as some sort of savior and he hasn't even played an NBA game, yet. Just like with Kobe, all these Kobe stans, who I'm guessing are Laker fans to some extent, are already making it very hard to like Russell.

If you don't like a player just because of their fans on ish.... well you need to go outside a little more.
