Hey Mori, I sincerely hope you will be tracking Kobes fg % for us again this season. Was one of the best threads of the season last year, sure got Dales panties in a bunch with it.

I was lurking for that one as well. Another great thread. I have been reading the forum for quite some time, they weren't approving accounts though, so just recently able to post since they were approving accounts a bit this summer.

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.

Word. ... If he even plays this year. In that case, his FG% would be .... .000

I don't see "Superstar" potential in Russell. His skill set does not scream "transcendent" either. I don't believe he'll be in the Top 5 player conversation either.


I do believe he'll have a solid career, a perennial All Star. But most importantly, he'll bridge the gap in free agency to bring in talent again with the Lakers. That's going to be one of the few intangibles Russell will bring.
