Ergo everyone who struggles in the summer league is bound to be a superstar. Pinautism at it's finest.
I remember Curry struggling in summer league games too, but a couple of things are undeniable. Talent, IQ and skill level are all right there.
I was lukewarm with Russell tbh, but I've seen enough in SL to know the kid has it. It's all a matter of putting it altogether and getting valuable expierience.
DLoading, Kobe, Clarkson, Big Roy and Randle are going to lead the Lakers in the playoffs this year.
Also, It's a short clip, but Russell eerily has the same half court tricks up his sleeve

Good thing he landed on a team with a solid coach, a stellar player development staff, and zero cancerous teammates. Bright days ahead for the Lakers.
They never post the vids of the thirty misses before the make....
Everyone wishing they could be Larry Bird.![]()
20 turnovers to 10 assists against a bunch of hacks who can't even make a Euro team
D'Bust is dead weight
Splits, bro, I get to live your life for a week (minus the cashflow)man, that was sweet.
Hope you don't mind thin, young, college girls that will do anything you ask (sexually)
He's in the perfect situation indeed, but if this NBA thing somehow doesn't work out for him his skill-set seems a great match for the Harlem Globetrotters.
Okafor
Not sure about that, he looks really slow. He can't even get to the rim against D-League bigs on PnR switches...
Lakers fans are getting their hopes high. Talking about playoffs and .![]()
You recovered from surrendering your 1st 5th to accomplish your 2nd 5th. Anything is possible.
Can't compare the two considering Curry is one of the greatest shooters of all time while Russell is not even close to that. I think Curry having a great jumpshot helped him during his first few years in the league as he tried to develop his game.
He said the potential. Relax. What really needs addressing is whether he's a shooter and scorer. When I say shooter, I mean a guy who just shoots off the pass. Is he a scorer? A guy who can not only shoot but score dominantly in every facet of the game.
Right now, he's not even 1/5 of the player Curry is. Russell has yet to play an NBA game.
This is a man's league ..not a college league.
i'd agree, if he didn't have very little potential, quickness, bad shooting, bad iq and terrible passing
I'd say D'Angelo Russell has a huge amount of potential, perhaps even exceeding Curry, Russell Westbrook, and even greats like Magic and the Big O.
How else will you explain a storied and well-ran franchise, which by any measure is at LEAST the 2nd best franchise in the history of the league, by-passing a transcendent talent like Okafor and picked him with the 2nd pick of the draft?
You are talking about a franchise who picked Worthy over Nique so that they get the perfect running mate with Magic, not to mention the Lakers actually getting that pick by trading away Don Ford a few years ago.
Or how the Lakers got Magic Johnson's draft rights when the Jazz signed Gail Goodrich.
Then there's Vlade Divac for Kobe Bryant.
This is a team with a history of spectacular draft moves.
"Honestly Tracy McGrady might have been the GOAT!"
-D'Angelo Russell
tee, hee.
Except he can't hit a 3 to save his life OP. His 3 point % in Summer League was a blistering .118%.
You've nary room. You're populated by liars & clowns according to Dragic & Morris.
tee, hee.
Bookmark this post: D'Bust will not have any team extending him an offer sheet for more than the league minimum when his rookie contract runs out in 2019.
He's going to bust out. Both Mudiay and Booker will have better careers. Book it.
Using the Morris twins and Goran Dragic as your authority on what's going on within the Suns organization is grasping for straws. You should mind your own house, you have a drunk and a coattail rider runnin' your organization.
Russell and Randle,,,has any team had back to back top 10 lottery busts?
Please. You thought the sun rose & set on Dragic,,,you thought you had the deal of the century on the Twins. They called you "liars" & "clowns" respectively. Live with that.
